[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

After the installation of all the available desktop environments, in the Enlightenment desktop environment there are multiple programs from some of the other desktop environments to choose from, not just the Enlightenment default ones.

Does this happen when only Enlightenment is installed? If not, I do not
think this is necessarily a bug.

It makes sense that englightenment would detect all programs installed.
Since other desktop environments install programs, enlightenment should
detect the other programs. If gnome is installed alongside
enlightenment, I would expect both environments to detect the same
packages, including those installed by gnome and those installed by
enlightenment.

I suppose if it is nevertheless an undesirable behavior, we could try
to allow a configuration to specify global profiles, so the desktop
environments can be isolated from each other. Can anyone poke holes
(bonus points if  security-related) in this proposed solution?

this looks like a feature, not a bug.
