"Something bad has happened, Enlightenment people don't read it - or only a few do. they just try and get rid of it asap. :) it also hapens to tell you your e is tainted with 3rd party modules here, but it tells u at the time the module is loaded too so you know which one it is. > has crashed. You are running 3rd Party modules this may be the cause".
