 Hello, great E guys
 
 1. Keyboard layouts question:
 I want to have two layouts english and bulgarian, and to be able to switch
 them with alt+shift. This is not a problem. I have configured it in the X
 config file. But I also want every window (program, I suppose not possible)
 out there to have its own layout, so I can write code in the editor in
 english, then someone sends me a message in gaim, and then reply to him in
 bulgarian, without the need of layout switch. I know its is possible because
 on my previous computer it was working great. But I've killed it, and now on
 clean install (previously have gnome installed and configured, and I was
 using gnome-settings-deamon) it is not working. Is it possible to have this
 feature enabled without the gnome bloat?

right now e doesn't do much at all when it comes to key maps etc. frankly -
i've never played with it - as my keyboards dont tend to change what keys do
what during the day :) i have experience with japanese input - but not
russian/bulgarian/etc. etc. so i don't really know where to start here - so for
now - this is a please send patches and explain to us whats going on thing :)
(how do you know what keymap to use/change to - does the app hint this? is it a
wm configuration thing. how to actually change keymaps with x calls etc. etc.)

 2. Config save to text file. Config load from text file.
 A few days ago after I have updated, the E was crashing and a have to delete
 my .e directory (later I've learn that only config have to be deleted, but
 this is other story :-) ) but I've made lots of changes in the configuration
 to suit my needs... and have to done them again, and wasn't happy.
 
 So is there a way to dump the configuration, I'm happy with, in text file,
 and the when something goes wrong restore it easyly?

enlightenment_remote - use it, write a script to execute it to set up your
options. it can also be used to query and extract your options. :)

 3. Last one:-). Today I have installed a second monitor, and I'm very happy
 of the usabllity of the twin view and E... it is great:-) but have too
 miscomforts: a. Is it possible to have the same modules on both monitors b.
 When the mouse goes from one monitor to the other its coordinates are not
 transferred corectly. The two monitors are setuped at different resolutions
 (1280x1024 and 1024h768), so the mouse have to be remapped (don't know if it
 is the correct word). When mouse goes from one monitor to the other its y
 coordinate (in my situation) have to be multiplied by the ratio of the
 vertical resolution of the two monitors. Now it is stays the same, a when I'm
 on the big one and the mouse's y is more then 768 after transfer to smaller
 monitor the mouse is lost... very distracting. But I suppose it is not an E
 issue, but nvidia's/xinerama's. I'm using the xinerama in the driver (nvidia
 6600 card on amd64) and have configured nv's twinview.

this is unfortunately not an e issue - it's x as it handles mapping of where
the mouse will cross between screens :(

 Thanks in advance,
 Greatings Teodor
