The latest development version of Eterm apparently requires a version of
imlib from Enlightenment CVS that has new functions in it. Other than
that, I don't know of any problems.

I haven't had any problems with the imlib from GNOME CVS, so if people are
having problems, please tell me what they are and how to reproduce them...
