What graphics card does your laptop have? Are you using XFree86 or Xorg?
Which version? Did you install RPM's or did you compile E yourself?
Which version? 

The menus are almost unreadable? In what way? Bad fonts? Bad graphics?

I have no idea what screen you are referring to, but you can always get
help from the middle-mouse menu.

Which themes? How are they broken?


The desktop images don't appear.

What desktop images? By default, E doesn't have desktop icons, toolbar,
and all those other Windows, KDE, or Gnome clutter.

Have a screenshot somewhere?

You have a lot of complaints but you provide almost no information. We
are not mind-readers. You may wish to read:

Finally, a question that may be answerable. You can edit your
$HOME/.enlightenment/file.menu file and customize it to your heart's
content. Format is as follows:

First line is menu title. Each following line is either an menu item or
a submenu call. Ex:

"MY MENU"
"Eterm" NULL exec "Eterm"
"Games" NULL menu "games.menu"

The NULL's can be replaced by the path to an icon if you so desire.
games.menu is a separate file, named 'games.menu'.

You could also install e16menuedit if you need a tool. Check E CVS or
Freshmeat for it.
