Hello,
I am using enlightenment-0.16.7-pre3 under Fedora Core 2, with Gnome
2.6. All in all, Enlightenment and Gnome seem to work together very
well. I was particularly pleased to see that the Gnome
workplace-switcher applet is aware of Enlightenment virtual desktops.
(This was not the case with e-0.16.6.) (The window-selector applet
however seems to be unaware of virtual desktops, not going to another
virtual desktop if that is where the window one selects is located.)
Still, there are a few small problems. Most annoyingly, left-clicking on
the desktop does not produce the "User menus" menu. Instead, that menu
is the first menu to appear under the "Enlightenment" menu that one gets
if one clicks on the middle button while on the desktop. Similarly,
pushing the right mouse button on the desktop does not get you the
Enlightenment "Settings" menu, but the normal Gnome 2.6 menu one gets
with a right-click. (Like the "User menus" menu, the "Settings" menu
ends up in the main Enlightenment menu.)
Does anyone know how to make these menus appear in the usual way under
Gnome 2.6? (I tried WindowMaker, and left-clicking on the desktop led to
the normal WindowMaker behavior, so I don't think this is Gnome's
fault.)
I also have a few other observations.
A capability that e-0.16.6 had seems to have disappeared with
e-0.16.7-pre3: "sticking" menus doesn't work; a "close" box never
appears on the menu when one releases the mouse button in the title bar.
Also, the Enlightenment Document Viewer no longer displays "forward" and
"previous" buttons at the top (something it did in e-016.7-pre-3);
instead, the contents from another window is written in that area.
(These buttons are still there however, since the appropriate actions
are performed in the area where the buttons are supposed to be.)
Finally, the Red Hat desktop switching tool doesn't seem to get some
required information from e. It produces the following error:

Thanks in advance for any help. (I have upgraded to a Fedora 2 system
from a Red Hat 9 system by hand, installing packages with rpm instead of
using Anaconda, so I still have a few old, pre-Fedora 2 packages
installed. I have been careful to update all my Gnome-related packages
however, so I don't think that is the problem. Of course, if no one else
is getting these problems, I could be wrong...)
