Apparently, though unproven, at 23:28 on Thursday 02 June 2011, Jeff Hoogland did opine thusly: I'd recommend removing E16 and giving E17 a try :) Lets be honest though, e16 and e17 are two completely different products that share only two things in common: - the same word in the name -

Alrighty - to be honest I've never used e16 much so I was unaware of that. I was under the (wrong) impression it was just a dated version. Sorry bout that. On Fri JunĀ  3 2011 01:46:49 AM CDT, Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com wrote: Apparently, though unproven, at 23:28 on Thursday 02

To be honest, I've used both of them.and if you're using e16 but don't know about e17, then YES absolutely recommend to use it. But if the other one knows about both of themthen what's the point? 2011/6/3 Jeff Hoogland jeffhoogl...@gmail.com Alrighty - to be honest I've never used e16

I recently decided to give Enlightenment a test drive, and dwonloaded e16 from the Ubuntu Software Packages repository in a *.deb package, and installed successfully on my Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit machine. Seems to be functioning OK, although I have some specific issues that I need help with: 1. I

E16 is super dated at this point - I would highly recommend trying a current version of E17 (bodhi linux, sabayon, and pclinuxos all provide one in LiveCD form). Your display/login manager controls which desktop log into. If you are using the default display manager in Ubuntu 10.04 then it is

Hi Charlie, I am glad you are giving Enlightenment a try. Although it may not be quite ready for prime time and the docs can be hard to find, I think you'll really like E once you get use to it. Here some docs.: Enlightenment Wiki http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/ The Unofficial

I've just recently started exploring E17, although I've been an enlightenment fan since '99. I'm not sure I entirely agree with your 'super dated' comment about e16. To me it falls more on the scale of a minimalistic window manager such as fluxbox. e16 can do composite rendering for

Hi Charles, I also share lots of mixed gtk and qt apps. Since I like more the QT approach (generally), what I do is to chose the same theme for gtk and qt. Currently, I use qtcurve in KDE's system settings and then I select also qtcurve in gtk-chtheme. That's it! for the gnome-e16 thing...i

After checking an older Ubuntu install I've got at home, I ran into your same problem. It appears to be an Ubuntu design flaw. Somewhere in the session startup framework they insert e16 into gconf as your window manager when selecting e16-GNOME, but when you change back to GNOME it doesn't
