The ebuild for enlightenment-0.16.5-r4 is quite old now. 0.16.5 does not include X11 hinting for the EWMH specification here: http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/1.3/html/ This makes enlightenment 0.16 appear very broken when running Gnome v2. The tasklist applet doesn't correctly list the running applications, among many other problems. It would appear that after 2 1/2 years, Kim Woelders has championed the cause of maintaining 0.16 while the Rasterman and the others work on e17. The current e16 cvs code is VERY usable in Gnome2, KDE, and all by itself. Could someone please update the ebuild to Enlightenment 0.16.6-pre2 http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=151948 Or possibly correct the enlightenment-cvs ebuild to actually fetch the currently supported version of Enlightenment? That ebuild should most certainly be called e17-cvs or something like that, as it's a completely different code base, and has completely different asperations from e16 which is commonly referred to as "enlightenment", and e17 is referred to as "e17". However e17 is no more a window manager than Gnome is, or KDE is, and probably shouldn't be in x11-wm anyways. Thanks very much.

Actual Results: A version of Enlighenment that was released Oct 17, 2000 was installed which left my Gnome desktop, and enlightenment horribly broken. Expected Results: Install a copy of e16's cvs, or one of the 0.16.6 pre releases Changes to E16 since 0.16.5 was released: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/enlightenment/e16/e/ChangeLog?annotate=1.43 The code supporting EWMH hinting: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/enlightenment/e16/e/src/ewmh.c?rev=1.13&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup The Enlightentment news page which mentions a "possible" 0.16.6 release as opposed to an imminent release. http://enlightenment.org/pages/news.html The Enlightenment FAQ explaining that e17 is radically different from e16, and that it is and will be incompatible with Gnome and KDE running as a desktop shell: http://enlightenment.org/pages/faq.html
0.16.6_pre3 is in only reason it hasnt happened sooner is because i just got back from a 3 month trip to europe ;) http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-wm/enlightenment/enlightenment-0.16.6_pre3.ebuild?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
