Thank you Andreas,
I am afraid it does not solve my case. The "below windows" setting allows
maximised windows to overlap the shelf and hide it, while I want them not to
do so. Please have a look at the screenshot below, the email window rests
above the shelf, while gkrellm is at the bottom right hand side of the screen.
This is how the previous version I had installed worked. This is also how the
'slit' in Fluxbox works and in its default settings neither dockapps in the
slit, not the shelf/toolbar get overlapped by application windows. The
screenshot shows what I mean.

I would, but I don't know how to install what you have commited using my
Gentoo OS and layman. It reports a different revision:
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn up "/var/lib/layman/efl""...
At revision 50085.
(sorry but my knowledge of layman is limited).
