To be honest over 9 months or so E17 only broke once or twice for me.
Sync'ing the efl and trying again a few hours later fixed the breakage. Once
I get a working desktop I leave it alone and only sync again a week or two
later.
E17 is soooo light footed that I would not want to move to KDE for all the
plasmoids in the world. Ha! It even makes fluxbox seem heavy on resources in
comparison.
I've added 'enlightenment' overlay, sync'ed and now I get this:

Do I read the above right that 1.0.0_beta is in the enlightenment overlay, but
1.0.0_beta2 is in portage proper? Since beta2 is more recent why isn't listed
in enlightenment overlay?
