Well, first of all, there isn't currently an e17 window manager/desktop shell that you can download and install. You can, however, install the e17 libs and apps suuch as entrance, and they work very well. The easiest thing to do is emerge entrance and any other apps you want such as evidence, erss, and entice; doing so will, of course, install all of the e17 libs automatically. When there is a usable e17 wm, it will be a completely different package with a different ebuild, so it isn't necessary for them to be slotted. Also, they will have completely different config files in different directories so there will be no problems having both installed at the same time. As far as compatability between the menu files, that probably won't be possible. One of the new e17 libs (edb) is specifically for configuration, and I'm assuming that's how menu files will be configured.
