Hi,
I just wrote a little patch to implement this use case for me:
http://codepad.org/LxM1Grii
I just have to:
export E_HOME=.ex
unset E_CONF_PROFILE # if you run E17 as host!!!
Xepyr_E17
----Xephy_E17----
#!/bin/sh
Xephyr -ac -screen 1024x768 :1 &
sleep 3s && /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start -display :1
----Xephy_E17----
This runs a complete separated instance of E17. I'm not sure if all E
user application check to use the directory, but for me it's ok. I'm
just interested in separate E profile settings for this use case.
As I seen no danger I'll commit this code if nobody cries over the
weekend. :-)
regards
Andreas
