Whatever you might have attached was stripped by the Mailman so we don't know
what the log captured. There was an e17 bug which caused some video card
drivers to crash with the e17 splash screen, IIRC. There's a way to disable
the splash screen, but I won't look for it now because irrespective of this,
is there a reason why you don't remove anything and everything from e17 and
install e18 instead?
Portage has x11-wm/enlightenment-0.18.2 and dev-libs/efl-1.8.4 available.
After you unmerge all enlightenment related packages from the 1.7.9 version,
unmask and emerge the following:
efl
evas_generic_loaders
emotion_generic_players
elementary
enlightenment
Then set enlightenment in your /etc/env.d/90xsession and it should launch. On
my boxen it has a better overall performance than e17.
