As the name implies, it was designed for use with the Enlightenment WM. All
that really seems to mean is that the configuration for Eterm is similar to
that of E[WM]...i.e. it ignores your .Xdefaults file, instead looking at
/usr/local/share/Eterm/themes/Eterm/MAIN.
You need not worry about using esetroot of you use the --watch-desktop option
(or set watch_desktop on in MAIN)
