Problem with Enlightenment/Elementary

I've installed Arch on my new laptop and was trying out Enlightenment (current Arch repository versions).  Whenever I run Elementary, after a while it (Elementary) always locks up--doesn't respond to any keys or mouse.  I can force the problem by immediately pressing a backspace when I first load it.  I can do other things in Enlightenment including starting new Elementary instances, but eventually after a few minutes use they always lock up.  I have to manually kill them for even the title bar doesn't respond.

I've done searches and not found anyone else having this problem.  My old wm, pekwm, that I've used for years works fine.  My new laptop has 8 GB RAM, so I thought I could try something that uses a little more resources. :-D

Re: Problem with Enlightenment/Elementary

What are you running, exactly? Elementary is the widget toolkit, not a program.
