Dear Raster.

Thank you for your reply.

> Input should have nothing to do with driver. it's unrelated to any video
driver (nvidia) code. This doesn't make sense... :/ It's something else.

After having read your reply, I checked my config and startup script and
found, that I run a modified gnome-session every time I start
enlightenment. That comes from a time when I used a gnome-panel in my
enlightenment session. So removing that gnome-session solved my most
important problems. Heureka!

So it looks like that gnome-session interfered with the enlightenment
session from time to time. Still it is interesting to see, that the
problems only came up, once I started to use the nvidia-396 driver.
Strange...

A long time ago there was a build script, 'easy_e17.sh' it was called I
tnink, that checked the project tree for new code and compiled the
components accordingly. Would such a script still exist? Or what would be
your recommended way to compile enlightenment from source?

THX again for your time.
