I found, through trial and error, I had to install a few more items:
Code:
apt-get install libevas0-loader-png libevas0-saver-png 
apt-get install libevas0-loader-jpeg libevas0-saver-jpeg
apt-get install libevas0-loader-eet libevas0-saver-eet libeet1=1.1.0+svn38845-maemo1
I also had to remove hildon-desktop and hildon-desktop-env in order to install gnome-menus. And without gnome-menus, the Enlightenment desktop is pretty empty.

UPDATE: So the big show-stopper for E17 in the Mer chroot is the very thing that makes Mer so attractive for a Maemo chroot; the hildon-input-method stylus keyboard tries to pop up when you click on a GTK text area and it brings E17 crashing down... Also, the Liberty theme is a bit of a disaster in E17...

UPDATE2: I put some screenshots in my flickr account.
That's interesting. . . I wonder what is causing the crash? Did you try disabling the e17 keyboard and/or hildon keyboard? It might be a conflict of some sort. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a better version of e17-data posted soon with a working keyboard of it's own.

I'd recommend the B_and_W theme which you can get from gnome-look.org as a theme.

Also, you could try alternative menu building apps to gnome-menu. It's just one that I knew worked. There's on called "menu" and a few others that do the same thing. Maybe one won't have the dependency problems.

Edit: It looks like you had to install a verson of eet from the ubuntu repos. Could this be part of the problem? Maybe the version of eet I put in isn't working or is missing some packages? Either way, I'm in the process of adding a building a new version and it should be uploaded to the mer repos soon!

*Out of curiosity: Did you have problems with the backgound having sort of "lines" going across them? I had this problem with these packages in my install, but I'm not sure what caused it. The background wallpaer should be a smooth gradient.
