Entrance is not actively maintained as far as I know, it has also never
had a stable release so shouldn't be expected to work well. You can use
lightdm or any other display manager such as gdm, sddm, kdm etc to
launch enlightenment.

e21 will have a new connection manager gadget I believe, econnman is a
python app which requires python-efl, you can launch it from a terminal
to see why it isn't working. alternatively as of NetworkManager 1.2 you
can build nm-applet with the --with-appindicator build flag

e20.7 fixes lots of similar issues with chromium, maybe it will fix
these as well, maybe its a java issue, either way creating a detailed
bug report on phab.enlightenment.org is the best way to have a chance of
getting them fixed. (note startup apps dont work in e20.7 e20.8 will be
out within a week with a fix).

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
