I am wondering if, by specifying > '-profile standard' this caused wizard module not to run ?? correct! problem -> pebkac :) (wizard runs because e starts with the default profile only... and default profile does nothing much more than load the wizard module - it hss pretty much no keybindings or any other useful features enabled, and no other modules at all. it entirely relies on the wizard loading its page modules and setting thins up and then switching to another selected profile - technically a system integrator can replace the wizard pages we ship with their own - thats the intent in the end anyway. if you really wanted you can even replace default profile with the content of standard and presto, but u'll never get a wizard then. > dh > > works for me (if i create an > > empty homedir). you just cant load it manually in the gui. it isn't > > intneded to get manually loaded afterwards anyway - though it'd be useful > > to have something in settings that reset you to defaults (deleted > > everything in ~/.e/e and restarted e with the default profile). > > > >> dh > >> > >>> Not to mention that, when starting E for the first time (without an > >>> existing config) they no longer have the option of choosing an icon > >>> theme (wizard handled that also), so if they don't have the "default > >>> icon theme" installed (let's say Tango or whatever it is), then their > >>> ibar may potentially be missing icons.
