Yes if I start Literki and select keyboard None (for Default keyboard it
works with no problem) I got Enlightenment Error (SEGV).  For coming
soon vala/elementary reimplementation of ffalarms Enlightenment
segfaults only once (Elementary does try to reenter fullscreen after new
Enlightenment appears), so it will be improvement :).

for ffalarms you can comment out fullscreen in
./usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ffalarms/ffalarms.py
