On  4 Mar, James M. Cape scribbled:
->  The following is just a small list of things that are busted or bug me:
->  
->  1. When enabling sliding desktop switching, the switching always takes
->  place the same way: i.e. when switching from #1 to #2, it slides #2 up,
->  but when switching from #2 to #1, it doesn't slide #2 down out of the
->  way, which seems backwards to me.

they always slide in.. its just the way it is.. :)

->  2. No sliding effects occur at all when switching to Desktop 0.

if you can work out how to move the root window I'll have to kiss
you... but desktop 0is the root window.. and well.. I havent' managed
to figure out how to move it yet... :) (no - dont mention xvidtune...
not an option)

->  3. The Root Menu needs to be a user-editable file in ~/.enlightenment,
->  and having that file editable by e-conf would be great.

it is a user-editable file.
cp /usr/share/enlightenment/configs/menus.cfg ~/.enlightenment
and edit it.

no gui to edit yet.

->  4. A right-click "Send to > Desktop 0[-X]" menu on the windows would be
->  really nice, and save a lot of time over the switch/pull/drag/pullback
->  method which is required now.

heres a nice shortcut:
hit titlebar for "move"
hit
alt-F1 or switch to another desktop and bingo window stays
release mouse to "drop window"
and you just moved it.
tomove it between virtual desktops just drag to the screen edge and E
will flip.

->  5. Backgrounds directory? I think it would be nice to have a
->  user-definable backgrounds directory available to be set for e-conf, so
->  I could have all my non-theme backgrounds in a certain directory (for
->  me, ~/pix/backgrounds).

~/.enlightenment/backgrounds

alreayd setup )menus.cfg creates a menu by recursively scannign that
one)

->  6. Having a Backgrounds directory would be nice as well.
