yes. that's edje bitching - don't worry about that.

well no - it should work. i just flipped themes here right now. i can flip
between themes in ~/.e/e/themes and system installed ones (installed in e's
system theme dir). but i'm running cvs - of course, not rpm's.

well the layout algorithm is extremely generic and it's at its worst when all
gadgets are packed tightly with no room to move. it's something that needs fine
tuning.

it's nothing like a taskbar. it contains not a single task. the only thing
vaguely windowsesque is the start module. and that is a module able to be
disabled and/or removed from the shelf. :) the shelf is much closer to the CDE
panel than anything.
