Err this is not quite what happened....

YaST installed e17 as a dependency of something else ( at the time was
to busy swearing to figure out exactly what because I knew something was
awry when it started to install the 16.999999 rpm. ) Immediately after
the install e16 became non-functional and it was only by luck that a
that there was functioning terminal with which to force a restart. After
which e16 was no longer available as a window manager, and e17 would not
do anything other than load a complaint about how it was being loaded.

The local configuration directory was not touched, but it was fairly
clear that some core elements of e16 had been removed or replaced.

At the time all I wanted to do was locate e16menuedit2 so I could tidy
up the menu a bit. This does not seem to be part of the standard
distribution, and the source code when I located it seems to be about 3
years old so I have a feeling that building this one is going to be one
of lifes more intriguing experiences.
