that would be the right thing to do. :) n.b. nicolas: i'm thinking elfe with
some improvmeents would be good for e18 as default illume home. things needed
tho:

1. elm needs to work properly in e as a child window or just in a "foreign
canvas". this needs to be partly done in elm at least. like e_win but part of
the infra in elm as hooks and part in e.
2. elfe doesnt like "strange sizes" of icons - it clips them and some things.
it's ok. its new. but its good! :)
