Dear Ross,

Long time no see, I have new findings.  By now I'm on 5.9.0-5-amd64, have longtime not tried to reactivate e, today found the time, and again, it reacts strangely.  Maybe my setup is wrong, I have a ~/.xsession, which is a symbolic link to ~/.xsession-enlightenment, which says:

"""citation start"""
#!/bin/bash
if pgrep Xorg >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        syndaemon -d -K -R -i 1
        exec /usr/bin/enlightenment_start
else
        echo "Usage: by X/xdm.  See X(7x)."
fi
"""citation end"""

What happens is that I see an Enlightenment screen showing on my (laptop) monitor for about a second, then the screen turns black.

NEW: If I do nothing, screen stays black for quite precisely 30 seconds, no matter if on VT7 or VT1-6, then screen comes back.  If in TTY1-6 it stays, if in VT7 as soon as I press a key or click a mouse it turns black again.  But then sometimes also VT1-6 turn black again, apparently without my influence.

And in .xsession-errors--where I redirect console output, there's:

"""citation start""":

I'm at a loss.
