That's what I thought too, but I haven't found anything yet. Also, the
build system problem makes no sense - everything required is on the
path, and yet it still doesn't work.
If it's a shell issue, why did it change when e17 was updated? Nothing
else has changed on my system, and it's not an X startup issue per se -
everything is fine if I start X with a different window manager. This is
why I'm confused about it.
