Recovering from the dreaded lurgy that has kept me in bed for days and catching up on email. Still feverish, this may ramble a bit.

Having several standard E profiles that cover what the first run wizard will ask sounds good to me - 1) Windows like defaults. 2) Mac like defaults. 3) Gnome like defaults. 4) KDE like defaults. 5) Configurin' fo' da raster stylin's. No actual coding would have to be done to edit these defaults, just load the profile, fire up a config dialog, commit the profile back to CVS. These standard E profiles would be stored in the enlightenment data directory. There should also be allowance made for a system default profile stored in /etc somewhere. This is for sysadmins that want to control such defaults. Load up the default standard profile first, override that with the system /etc profile, and finally override that with the users configuration. If no user config, start first run wizard that defaults to default standard profile + system profile. I'll probably make more sense tomorrow. B-)
