I think the problem is more the fact that enlightenment doesn't control the module placement. If e is resized (screen res), where the module been placed? That something enlightenment have to do ? no ?
Some times ago, i was in my moon and i thought to put the gadman code as an enlightenment module. But that's crazy, a module who load modules... :( But i don't think it exists a good way to do that currently. Maybe an external application (edesklets) or something, to use desktop modules.
