No matter what I do in the ibar I can't make new application
launchers/icons in the ibar. I put in the name, the icon name,
the executable name, hit apply and then exit and nothing
happens.  What do I have to do to make new app launchers on 
the ibar??  This shouldn't be this hard. This has been this way for
multiple versions and never fixed or EXPLAINED  in this mailing
list. Why? What the hell does it take to get this so a regular user can
set up a proper desktop the way they want it? What use is the menu
items "ibar > create new icon"?
I have even made my own .desktop files to try to get the launchers on
the ibar but enlightenment won't pick them up out of the directory.

Also I have tried for the last 3 versions to get help with my volume
keys on the keyboard but so far no one has bothered to answer my
questions on that. 

This is supposed to be the enlightenment mailing list where help is
supposed to be available but so far, even with the developer being on
this list, I have yet to get any help with this desktop. I just continue
to upgrade with each version that comes out hoping that something
changes and improves but nothing changes or improves, just the same old
problems, same old bugs, same old crap. This would be a great desktop
if it worked properly but it seems the only things that are important
is getting Wayland working. Yeah buddy let's work on wayland and screw
the rest of the desktop. 

Here's what we got for the last upgrade announcement:

HIGHLIGHTS
  * Greatly improved Wayland support
  * New gadget infrastructure
  * Wizard improvements
  * Video backgrounds

CHANGES SINCE BETA
  * Wayland DMA buffer support
  * Wayland session recovery
  * New DRM subsystem
  * Various crash fixes/additions

50%  Wayland announcements, which really doesn't make a tinkers damn in
the usability of the Enlightenment desktop. 50% Wayland and the rest
of the upgrades don't make another tinker's damn, DRM subsystem, no
help, Gadgets improvements, no help, Wizard improvements, what's that?
Video backgrounds, no help. 
Let's fix the basic usability of the desktop.


Yeah, I know, I'm an asshole. But after years and years of trying to
use something that is a major fail and trying and trying to get help
and seeing another fail, I'm at the point where I'm truly frustrated.
Yeah, I know, it's free and so do you and since this has been
distributed free for so long I come to the conclusion that you may want
to know what a normal, loyal user's impression is of the desktop.
I have been using Enlightenment since before E17 and I have upgraded
every version since and I have always ended up going back to e16, But
I'm at the point where I have to leave E16 because Terminology doesn't
work properly with E16 now because of terminology looking for some
crap that E16 doesn't have. I get errors and can't start it in full
screen mode.

Well, you can kick me off the mailing list and scream profanities at
me now and tell me what an asshole I am for expressing my opinions.
But that's life in the slow lane.
Thanks
