I also ran into this issue.  If the enlightment directory (.e) exists
enlightment will hange on restart. I am not at my enlightemnt box, but from
memory I did the following:
    1) rm -rf .e
    2) startx
    3) Use enlightment control panel to disable startup banner.
    4) Exit enlightment and verify it restarts with startx.
