I did the same, it seems to work well, including the nice surprise of being |
34 |
able to use composite with an OpenGL backend, *and* to be able to configure |
35 |
windows so they don;t bounce all over the place when getting focus |

EFL, e17 and the modules you use seem to be all that most folk will use. I |
46 |
used to install everything in svn that would build successfully btu I never |
47 |
used most of that stuff. |

|

I do like winlist and itask. But the rest seems to have bitrot - some packages |
50 |
still have etk and ewl in DEPEND (like epdf). I can't think of any killer |
51 |
must-have apps beyond the basics. |
