This was broken in mine a while back but i think it has been fixed for
some which e17 package version are you using? I have 0.17.0-21.2-x86_64.
Second are you using any non default authentication or settings. I'm
running on a VM that had a vanilla opensuse KDE install and
enlightenment on top. Finally which efl packages do you have? (Maybe a
dev can tell if thats relevant) I have a few extra packages other then
just e17 and its default dependencies maybe we are still missing
something? Also make sure theres no mention of lock in
/etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf if your setup has been around for a
while and it should be owned by root and in the root group and have
-rw-r--r-- permissions. Older installs may have had issues with the
permissions and ownership of this file.
Cheers,
Simon
