Ack! That's a really big problem. I'll get to rebuilding the affected
packages right away. Expect to see all that getting updated in the next
day or two. And I thought I was running out of stuff to do :)

Any thoughts on what might possibly be the problem? I don't ever use
Enlightenment or GNOME, so I've got no familiarity with them. If you
could narrow down the problem even a little bit, that would be excellent.

I don't know. I always use the 'full' option. :) I'll ask someone if
that's proper behavior. I wouldn't doubt that there's a bug in that
stuff, though. It hasn't exactly been a top priority.

Nice. If you can get that one figured out, it would be a huge help. It
sure did annoy me like crazy. Oh, don't discount the possibility that ash
is completely brain-dead. I ran into so many problems with ash and setup.
There's a lot of hacks I had to make to get perfectly reasonable shell
code to work right.
