Sorry, I don't know what the other guys are running, but I hit the same issue I think. I did a clean install of 1.10.1 and went through the installation steps for Realistic Progression using CKan yesterday. EER didn't seem to work at all. The toolbar icon is there but the menu doesn't come up and the hotkeys don't respond and the additional symmetry and snap options weren't there. I finally found this thread and thought it might be the recent update so I downloaded the 3.4.2 version of EER, which works just fine.
I know I'm running outdated versions of things with Realistic Progression and that might be causing issues, but maybe this can help you isolate the issue.
Never uploaded a log before. I hope this works and helps.

EDIT: To be clear, this log was created while running the newest version of EER available from CKan, not the 3.4.2 version I downgraded to.
