enlightenment_start is ptracing already. it's doing this so it catches segv's
and can get a backtrace. you can temporarily turn it off (killall -USR1
enlightenment_start) BUT... once its off - any crash will bring your desktop
down in flames - no more crash trapping and recovery until you log in again.
