You'll run into (broken ??) themes like this too often. I tend to stick
to the "popular" ones and it's safe that way. You find a "cool-looking"
one at Freshmeat and it borks everything up. :-)

What I've usually done is:
1) exit E and X-Windows.
2) edit ~/.enlightenment/...e_session-XXXXXX.snapshots.0 by changing the
BORDER entry for my pagers and iconbox to DEFAULT. When you get a broken
theme, I *think* it changes it to "FALLBACK". Save and exit.
3) If this broken theme has "lost" your root-window menu clicks, edit
~/.englightenment/user_theme.cfg and change the entry to
BrushedMetal-Tigert. That theme is the default one and should always be
available. If not, just change it to a theme you know works.

Apparently freshmeat is the culprit here as they don't offer *.etheme
files, but *.tar.gz instead. If you rename the *.tar.gz to *.etheme and
put it in ~/.enlightenment/themes BUT DO NOT UN-TAR it, you're saying it
doesn't work for you ??
