All right, well, I tried enlightenment 0.21.5-1 from debian
experimental, and that was a small disaster. Took me 3H+ to downgrade
and recover :-/
So, it did actually play nice with google-chrome. I was finally able to
detach tabs from a window and attach them to another google-chrome
window.
But:
1) it crashed every time I went to menu/windows
2) the moment I typed right alt, I would be able to type é but then E
would go into a high CPU loop, right alt would never disable itself, and
I E would eventually become unusable
3) my right mouse button stopped working the way it normally does
I usually do left alt + middle mouse button and resize the current
window by dragging the mouse and instead it would start rotating virtual
desktops
4) middle mouse button on the desktop would not bring a menu popup
anymore.
There were other things that seemed wrong too, but that was enough
things broken that I reverted back to enlightenment 0.18.8-2, which took
a while since I also had to revert other dependencies that got pulled in
at the same time.
So it's definitely "experimental" as in "not usable at all" for me :(
