Re: Unbelievable! there's even a enlightenment package

### "(...) a georgious E17 desktop starting inside an Xnest window."

Yes, I was myself pretty impressed with the enlightenment package probono created a few days ago within 2-3 hours after it was requested in the #klik IRC channel.

It used indeed Xnest at first.

I suggested to use "nxagent" instead of Xnest (because it can be resized, and doesnt have a fixed window size, like Xnest), but unfortunately the current version has nxagent from 1.4.0 included (which does *not* support resize).

So I hacked my local .cmg myself. It was pretty easy to de-compress the .cmg into a directory tree, take out the old version of nxagent (including the old nx libs) and put in the 1.5.0 version (including the nx libs).

So my local enlightenment.cmg now starts up in a window that I can resize at will. And coolest thing: it even obeys the [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F] shortcut to toggle the window into fullscreen mode and back!

yeah, this is frightening... the MS ppl won't like this. now they took most of plasma's ideas into their 'gadgets' but this will be hard for them to do :D

they still don't have a centralized way of packagemanagement (and especially upgrading)...
