New E17 install and Bling module buginess?
I just installed the e17-cvs packages per wiki last night-but I cannot get E to run with Bling module loaded...the DE will run fine with Bling, until I open a new window/app-whereat E17 freezes-and only a Crtl+alt+backspace will get me anything (back to entranced). This occurs something as simple as the Xterm console. as well as full Qt4 apps and Gtk apps.
In case it matters-this box also has KDEmod on the same Arch, Nvidia GTX260 with 180.22 drivers. E is at default 1st run config, minus load/unload Bling.
Any ideas on how to make E17 w/bling useable on my box? I've run E before, but not under arch-and remember some difficulty with Bling conflicting with another module which I had to unload-but I'm scratching my head as to what.

This is a total guess. Do you have xcompmgr running? If so, bling doesn't use it; It has its own version built in.

I'll check when I get back from work.
For now, it seems like there is some conflict between Bling and Dropshadows...as I can get Bling to run fairly stable once I deactivate Dropshadows (I also deleted the .E folder in /home for good measure)...I say fairly, as I occassionally do get either a crash of E, or there is often a deal of lag in Bling focusing/defocusing the current window.

Not within my knowledge. Once I turn off fading/transparency things stabilize somewhat-but it is still crash prone. Wierd thought-does E17 even use hardware graphics acceleration? I have a GTX260 and I'm getting choppy window moving.
There's a setting for XRender/Software rendering...the later works and is buggy the former is even more buggy.
