I came here from google search for a problem- I missed HN the day this thread came on. I 'discovered' enlightenment last summer and found it to be a wonderful solution for my netbook. I was traveling alot and pretty much have my netbook as a full development 'travel rig.'

The problem is that I want to have gnome installed side-by-side-- which seems to mean that the network manager (EConnMan I think you call it) doesn't work.

I know there was a way to do it but I forgot (that's what brings me to this page).

So, my comment: If this could sit easily and seamlessly next to gnome- that is, whatever hack is needed for EConnMan (and perhaps other 'gotchas') were built in as shortcuts, for example, I think you would win a lot of people over. It's excellent for being an out-of-the way work environment.

I also think it helps show off the linux world when you can quickly and easily switch between work environments. My $0.02.

EDIT: So I'm now logged in on E and obviously remembered the network hack: start nm-applet from the terminal. It will at least connect to a known network.

EDIT #2: The only other issue I've had on the netbook is getting the control-bar-menu gizmo out of the way of the windows so I can use the screen real estate I have for my editors and such. You have to turn this on in settings.
