There is strace for not working
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/jama/shr_elm.log.no
and working start
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/jama/shr_elm.log.yes

As TAsn confirmed shr_elm_softkey needs illume module to be loaded
before it's started.

Your workaround works, but be aware that in that 60s you have to finish
first run wizard (after reflash or .e removal). TAsn is checking
possibilities for shr_elm_softkey autostarted by e17 itself.

<snip>
The best approach (imo), would be to make an app.desktop file, put it in
/usr/share/applications (or standard place for your platform). Then in
/etc/skel make a ./e/e/applications/startup/.order file with app.desktop
listed in it. Then when new users get created, the
~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order file gets copied into users home dir
and the QP app will get started every time they start E.
</snip>

Shorter version of same workaround (not pushed because 20s is as bad as
60s for first start).

sed -i 's#^DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/shr_elm_softkey#sh -c "sleep 20 \&\& /usr/bin/shr_elm_softkey"#g' /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89shr_elm_softkey

DISPLAY is also already set by /etc/profile..
