Well, this is mostly a debug thingy. e16 can run in "window mode", which 
can be useful for debugging, e.g. "e16 -w 800x600" (or 0.16.7 
"enlightenment -window 800x600"). The eesh reparent command can reparent 
a window from the "main" e16 into the window e16. This can also be done 
by dragging from the pager.
