this fact was not evident until I rebooted the OS and a pop-up dialog
alerted me:
"Enlightenment cannot successfully start the
enlightenment_system service since it can't
become group root. Missing setuid bit?"
 (see attached)

That shows the programmers' foreseight. Thanks for the hint!

unbeknownst to me -- E's light bulb slider worked! I verified it does.
