[e-users] Thanks & Question

[Ben]

First of all - I just recently made the switch from being a full-time Windows user, to Debian. Three weeks now, and I only boot into Windows for gaming (Wish M$ didn't have anything to do with that game, then perhaps it could come to Linux!). I started with KDE, and while any change from XP is for the better, I didn't see everything I could do with my GUI until I installed e17. Faster, prettier & more stable than XP ever was for me, and this is alpha software! So I'd just like to thank all the developers for a great piece of software.

Now, for the questions... I'm using rasterman's get_e script to update occasionally. I've watched the CVS messages scroll by and have an idea of some of the items updated, but I wondered if anyone has a list of what get_e updates. Related to that, any suggestions on other portions of e17 that aren't updated, that I should check out? I'm not using entrance, already took that out with the option in that script. I am using the engage module & evidence, and the the usual e_utils for making icons, changing backgrounds, etc.

Also, using get_e .. Any suggestions (personal preference, even) for how often to update with this script? I've been running it almost daily, but wasn't sure how often there are significant updates to CVS.

Final question, for now - I've found directions for forcing transperancy with the standalone Engage, but not with the module. I see no theme-related configuration for it at all, and have no clue how (doesn't seem it would be possible) to fee the module version any command-line flags.

Anyway, thanks again for the great software, and hope someone has time to help a new user.
