Thanks Kevin : almost there.

ecb activates, but I get (instead of the c file in the right hand buffer):

Warning: `semantic-before-toplevel-bovination-hook' is an obsolete variable;
    use `semantic--before-fetch-tags-hook' instead.
Error: Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 53>


Advice on how to track down the problem?

Also, what code to turn off ecb if its not a c-mode derivative? Some
form of "else" in the code above which then calls ecb-deactivate()?
