  I've seen this one too.  I've noticed that if I switch desktops, the panel
and associated windows (like the window list) flicker (that is, vanish entirely)
momentarily right after the switch, presumably as Enlightenment does something
do them to make them properly part of the new desktop (?), and then redraw
themselves.  The fact that this is visually annoying aside, if I have the window
list open, switch desktops by clicking on a button in it, and then click
immediately (before everything is properly redrawn), the window list vanishes
and reappears where I clicked.  It's easier to do this when my system's under
heavy load (eg, when I'm recompiling my Gnome tree. :-) )

  Another minor thing: if "minimized windows appear on all desktops" is set,
minimized icons should probably appear in the 'sticky' section of the window
list.

  There also appears to be a crash+clobbering of preferences if I try to open
the Preferences dialog more than once (I just discovered this while writing this
message so I don't have a backtrace, once Gnome finishes recompiling I'll try
to get one)
