The solution for my problem was to first do a make clean before
compiling Enlightenment. I don't totally understand what went wrong,
but maybe it has to do with some files not getting recompiled with
glibc-2.1 (the last time I tried E was using glibc-2.0.x). I would
have expected either a linking error or a segfault, but somehow it
more or less worked fine except that all decorations and menus were
missing, and themes didn't work.

So I have E working now and it's great :)

Thanks!
