Thanks.

You gave me a big hint.

Come to think of it, my problem started when I moved to opensuse
Tumbleweed and started using efl & enlightenment in the openSUSE build.

So I downloaded the enlightenment-0.25.3-269.5.src.rpm from the
openSUSE site, built & installed, then shutdown & rebooted many times,
no problem. Of course, I did not rewrite the "enlightenment.desktop"
file.

To my surprise, the file contents are different.

For example, when I install an openSUSE build, enlightenment asks me
to change the system.conf, but the one I built at hand has a
system.conf that matches enlightenment's requirements..... (_ _?

Anyway, there are some questions about the wayland handling in the
openSUSE built, so I built and installed efl and enlightenment without
wayland, and they works fine for me now.

Regards.
