I guess that's something to look forward to... In the mean time the
yakuake pop-up terminal makes a reasonable substitute (as long as I
remember to & commands like " $ firefox & " Cause that didn't work on the
*version of e16 I got with " # apt-get install e16 " on Kubuntu 8.10...
Nor with the *version of e16 I got on OpenSuSE with " # zypper install
enlightenment "
(*To be honest I couldn't tell you the version numbers
of the two slightly different versions... I currently
keep three different linux distros reasonably current
on my old 32 bit pc {and nearly as current on my 64
bit laptop} All configured to have the same 'primary
user uid' to facilitate keeping things like my email
in a personal partition mounted as ~/STUFF with a few
symlinked dirs like ~/mail So I can totally hose a
distribution, reboot a different one and keep on
going with all my accustomed shortcuts and the same
data files still in place... The result is that since
my primary interest in my computers is to actually do
stuff with them, I don't have the time to spend
custom configuring hot new versions of things. I
always let the package management system install the
latest version that the linux disto maintainers
already tweaked for their distro... After a while I
stopped focusing on version numbers. All I see is the
package manager telling me the application is up to date...)
But I'm curious, with kde all I'd have to do is pop open the help
about of one of the "native" applications and select "about kde" and
I'd have the kde version number I was using at the moment. Is there a
consistent place to look to refresh my memory of what version of
enlightenment I'm using at any given time???

OK. But evidently it's smart enough to know if I already did because my
thread's subject didn't start with "[e-users][e-users] Hello..."
In any case I'm already getting attached to the fact the E seams to be
written for reasonably technically minded NON-programmers to be able
to tweak... I'm sure that sooner or later I'll find something that
I'm better off doing in kde. But I'm no longer sure I can think of
something... Oh I know, the project of going to the store while in the
middle of too many things to shutdown... With kde I just hit
<ctrl>+<alt>+<L> and I'm as secure as my login password... {Errr that
is if I bothered to wrap startx in a script with the next command
being a call to some console locking utility...} No I'll take the much
faster x server startup/shutdown of E verses kde over the illusion of
security that a gui locking tool provides...
I just wish I'd have tried E a long time ago... ;-7
