Which package should this be part of?  Actually, I am not sure we should
provide a configuration specific to the FR.  AFAIK, Illume is already
something very FR-specific...

If you do not choose anything, the Enlightenment menu is automatically
chosen:

This should not be needed when you use xf86-video-glamo and anyway the
scaling subsystem has some problems:

  http://bugs.debian.org/532236

This should be done automatically, at least I remember it was like this,
if it is not, please file a bug as explained at:

  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner#Reportingbugs

Which kernel do you use?  The battery meter should work out of the box
on the FR (not on the 1973), at least IIRC it did with kernel 2.6.28.  I
do not have any E17 right now and I cannot install it because it FTBFS
on armel and i386 as well:
=====
chmod 4755 debian/e17/usr/lib/enlightenment/utils/enlightenment_sys
chmod: cannot access `debian/e17/usr/lib/enlightenment/utils/enlightenment_sys': \
 No such file or directory
=====

  https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=e17;ver=0.16.999.061-2;arch=armel;stamp=1247622180

I am now building it locally to find the error, but I am slowly loosing
interest in everything E17-related...

What is the advantage of this one?  Remember that I, for myself, will
never accept patches that modify the behavior WRT the freesmartphone.org
distribution.

fso-config packages should provides a way to configure the frameworkd
and that is all: everything else like WM configuration should be done by
the user, otherwise we will force a choice which someone may not like.

E17 has a big problem: required space.  On a clean Debian amd64 sid
chroot created with the very same command used for the Openmoko:
=====
gismo:/# apt-get install e17

The following NEW packages will be installed:

This is actually even worse than the last time I checked before
installing it:

NB, I am not discussing about the quality of Illume/E17

Thx, bye,
