Hello,

I have just built yesterday Enlightenment on my Debian/iBook G4 using
the packages provided at:
http://download.enlightenment.org/snapshots/2008-01-25/

They built without problems, and I am using them finely, but I have a
few issues I'd like some feedback on, to see if they can be improved.

- Compositing: There is a "enable composite" option in Configuration >
Advanced > Engine. Whenever I turn it on, E protests saying that my
current screen does not support composite. This is odd, since XFWM4
and Compiz do work on my system without problem.

- Shadows: E only draws window shadows on the desktop, but not of one
window over the rest. Is this the intended behavior? Is there a way to
have it draw shadows the way Compiz or XFWM4 do?

- Menus: The application menu is empty. However, previous
(prepackaged) versions of E17 I had tried did display the usual Debian
application menu.

- Performance: Changing desktops is slow and not very smooth (even
without animations... although the animation looks too nice not to try
and have it turned on). I thought that perhaps this would improve
having composite enabled.

Apart from these issues (which are not critical nor affect too much
usability or stability), E17 seems to be working wonderfully. I am
really impressed with the great work put into it --- congratulations
and thanks to the dev team!

Denís.
