Hi there,

About a week ago I tried e17 one more time. It's becoming more beautiful,
but I still can't keep it as my sole WM. Why? I will answer:

1) There is not a login manager

2) There is not a file manager

3) There is not a terminal emulator

4) There is not a music player


The three first ones are really needed. Xdm is so ugly... and if I'd install
Konsole, Dolphin, Nautilus, KDM or GDM Login Managers, better to install the
whole respective DM's, because those apps requires most of the respective
DM's libs.

The fourth is a personal feeling. I would really like some music player
that's integrated into e17.

Also, it's a pain to configure some small things, like shortcuts, integrate
mouse-theme to GTK and QT apps, etc...

I'm sure EFL is powerful enough to bring to life all those must-have apps.
But someone has told me there are alternatives to Amarok and Konsole. I
would like to know which ones, because I can't find anything nearly as
powerful as those two && that doesn't require the majority of GTK libs
(therefore, turning my desktop into a semi-gnome one; better to install
Ubuntu, kill GDM and run e17 to draw the desktop instead).

I'm sorry if I sound unhappy; that's not the case. It's just like a
beautiful car that doesn't have seats: it is still beautiful, but highly
unusable. I really think e17 is the most beautiful DM out there, but it
misses some tools that force me to almost install another whole DM just to
use some of its tools.

Thank you and congratulations for the good and beautiful work.
