I have similar concerns. Recently, I've had issues with Enlightenment
crashing when my laptop comes out of the suspend state. I wouldn't normally
be concerned, other than the fact that this laptop has work-related stuff,
and absolutely has to present a lock screen when it's woken. I can imagine
it might be annoying to make E *default* to presenting a lock screen when
recovering from a crash, but an *option* to activate this behaviour would
be a good idea.
