Firstly, can you load E17 as a user? If so, rox should run fine.

Is your ROX version current? Version 2.5 is current. The Choices directory
is no longer used by rox. It now uses
~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/

Rox pinboard WILL obscure the shelf. It completely covers the root window.
If you use ROX panel as well, the combination will work.

If you are not seeing the pinboard, it may be related to the options. Open
a ROX filer window (rox with no option).

Right click in the filer and click Options/Compatibility.

Make sure all the check boxes for compatibility are unchecked (except
Panel is a dock) which has no bearing on pinboard.

Then, open a terminal and type

$ rox -p test

and a gray screen should appear behind the terminal window with a Home
folder at the top left.

If this does not work, you either have an older ROX version, or your
Options are not set properly.

What happens when you load ROX as I indicated through a batch script?

export DISPLAY=:0.0
rox -p test &
startx /usr/local/...../enlightenment

The rox pinboard should show on startup.
