How do most people have E working together with other session-manager-desktop regimes like KDE, Gnome, or XFCE? At the current time, some stuff just doesn't work right if only E is running. Various media programs are starting to assume you are running either KDE or Gnome where settings are control

I installed E DR17 yesterday (with the help of Prof K's RPMS and advice) and was troubled that it was using 40-80% of the system CPU, even if the PC was sitting idle. I started searching posts in this list and saw Raster's blog, which (2 years ago) showed that E with no modules was very fast and l
