I had the exact same experience with Enlightenment under Gnome. With
WindowMaker the same thing does not happen. I asked about it in the
Enlightenment list, there was no answer, but within about a week the CVS
versions of Enlightenment started to work again.  I'd not recommending
that you upgrade Enlightenment, rather I'd say just migrate to
WindowMaker.  The CVS version of Enlightenment has some eye-popping
features, including a pager that will amaze you, but they still have not
worked out some fundamental problems they introduced into usage of mouse
buttons. In particular, now they make it almost impossible to use GMC
without locking up your display every other minute.
