Excellent!  Makes me want to buy an EEE PC and install E17!:)

Beautifully done, how on earth do you guys get such great work done. I have recently fallen for Enlightenment, specifically the PcLinuxos version and I'm sure it will become my staple linux system. Where does one find the information to do what you guys are doing. Superb work, just hope I can accomplish half of what I've just seen.

Ray  e17 is a beta DE    contrary to KDE4  here you have been warned  

August has been my guru in e17 sometimes answering my questions, sometimes I just read his posts, lately others has been experimenting and posting their findings so keep reading    I'm using e17 daily at work and has been more stable than plasma in KDE4.

Welcome to the e17 PCLinuxOS Club   

Absolutely right got fed up with plasma because of crashes, not to speak the bug that adds activities on it's own when you use more than one.
e17 proves a desktop can be a/ good looking b/ stable and c/ fast
Try running the e17-light on a 1000Mhz cpu, 8mb gfx and 256mb old sdram's: it'll still fly!

It'll still take lots of time to complete the complete desktop and the applications but that's just because the devs are complete idiots who don't want to release anything that isn't 99% perfect.
e17 and the EFL libraries are the next best think in the world of opensource desktops.

Just play around with the desktop settings and have fun, if you don't understand something just ask it here we'll be glad to help you out.

I use KDE 4.5.2 daily.  The only crash I've had involves trying to ge Google Gadgets to load.  Each time the window opens, it crashes.

the only other misbehavior I've had involves the clock widget.  A few times, it's disappeared and the seocnd hand was ht eonly thing visible. Logging off and back on seemed to correct things.

The only thing I get confused about in E17 is how to kill a process that hangs. In KDE, it's a matter of doing a Ctrl, Alt, Esc.  When Skull and crossbones pop up, place over frozen app and kill.  Or, hit Ctrl, Esc and pick the frozen app from the window list.

How is this accomplished in E17?

Stable goooooooood, buggy baaaaaaaad.

Thanks.  I'll give it a look tonight.

If you use the e17 full you could install ksysguard, the kde system monitor.

Well, Dolphne works, so I assume Ksysguard will , as well.

What is Ksysguard? Hang on...I'll Google.

You could install xkill and either run it in a konsole or assign control alt esc to it in Enlightenment keybindings I believe.

No need to use xkill, e17 has it's own way for killing apps the graphical way:
long method: richt click on titlebar/kill window and confirm (3 clicks)
short method: right click on the windows close button and confirm (2 clicks)

Georgetoon: Sorry that i didn't give the correct reply immediately didn't read your post thoroughly thought you were looking for a task manager.

[Texstar]

forget xkill, it won't run under e17 keybindings anyway.
