I agree; I've been hooked on Linux and E ever since I tried them...

Alt-F1, Alt-F2, etc.  The menu options for desktop switching won't work,
since it was apparently a ferrite wrapper (and ferrite scripting was
removed a while back).  I'm not sure if there's a replacement
functionality.

The iconbar is created by a script in a dir like the following:

/path/to/e/share/enlightenment/data/scripts.

as well as the left-click root menu.  Edit to your liking.  Then run the
script and point the output to your ~/.e/desktop/...  The details are on
the sites below.

There's config help on these tasks, including extra backgrounds and
theme parts, in a number of places.  However, e17 is still alpha (ie,
not officially released) so there is no support other than this list,
and several sites:

Andy's e site, with e17 forum:

http://e1x.codewordt.co.uk/

The Cuddletech site e17 page:

http://www.cuddletech.com/e17/index.html

Ralph's e17 page:

http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~nofx/linux/enlightenment.html

and probably a few more.  There's even a few e17 threads in the main
Gentoo forum (I'm running a couple different versions of e17 on Gentoo
now).

You pretty much have to assimilate the above config stuff, some of which
has been altered by changes in the code, and experiment yourself.  Just
back up your default config stuff first, and then hack away...
