Hi!

Today I tried the new enlightenment setup for my regular work environment for 
the first time since a couple of years ago when
some minor but annoying issues with IntelliJ IDEA that I could never really 
pinpoint forced me to switch to xfce.
Unfortunately, now it is differently worse, with the same application.

Each time IntelliJ now opens some popup dialog box, it hides the project window 
instead of opening the dialog box.
I then have to select the window from the IBar to see and handle the popup 
window - but the main project window forgets
which monitor it was running on and opens in the wrong one, so I then have to 
move it manually to the monitor where I would like to have it.
Now, this IDE is a Java application, and the Java GUI is not really the best, 
so I suspect the problem may lie with the IDEs
Java XWindows support libraries somewhere. The problem is just that the IDE is 
as good as unusable like this, so I will switch
back to XFCE tomorrow, since it is very easy to switch the window manager, but 
very difficult to transfer the work to a different IDE.
So unless I accidentally check the "make windows behave interestingly" checkbox 
in some configuration I guess enlightenment is off
the table for me until IntelliJ and / or Oracle get their act together and fix 
their GUI support...
