Fink's enlightenment was a very old version, MacPorts's is newer but
not the newest. I just updated fink's 10.3/unstable to the very
newest, and I don't have any problems such as you describe on my Apple
X11 machine (and it also solves some dependency/packaging messes).
Would be nice for someone to test that 10.3 pkg on 10.4 and commit it
if it builds and works. Better to try to improve/debug something new
than also have to adjust bugs that have already been fixed in new.
