I originally used Enlightenment back in school (approximately 5 years
ago) and was always happy with it. But, as I used Linux more and more
at home (Slackware mostly, now running Slackware 10.0 on most machines),
I generally stuck with KDE. Recently, however, I've been meaning to go
back to Enlightenment (especially anticipating what looks like a
fantastic product in DR17).
First and foremost, how will this affect certain applications that were
built specifically with KDE in mind (K3B, for example)? I'm pretty much
a newbie when it comes to the various libraries in Linux, but is there
anything special I'll need to do to accomodate WM-specific applications?
As long as you have all the libraries (gtk,qt etc), all your gnome/kde
applications
will work. The desktop you actually use (gnome/kde/fluxbox/enlightenment)
doesn't
really affect the running of an application, just how it handles it on the
display.
Second, what solutions exist for VNC-style access to the local console
display on Enlightenment? In KDE, I use krfb, which allows me to VNC to
my local display instead of a new virtual display. Can something
similar be accomplished in Enlightenment? My ideal functionality would
be something akin to the single-user Terminal Server in WinXP Pro, in
that I can connect to the display remotely _and_ it gets locked locally
(currently, with krfb, prying eyes can sit in front of my console and
watch everything I do, if they were so inclined).
Sounds like xvnc.

Finally, can anyone point me to some specific resources for
configuring/tweaking/getting the most out of Enlightenment? Tips and
tricks, that sort of thing. I'm finding a lot via Google, but if anyone
has any specific suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm especially
interested in useful applications and add-ons, such as Engage.
http://get-e.org/ has alot of documentation.
Any help/advice you can offer would be much appreciated, thank you.
Cheers,
Daniel Stonier
