What?? That doesnt necissarily mean it is better!! Personally I use it, but to say that it is better because it has fixes made by the gentoo team is completely unfounded.

gnome-volume-manager does the same thing as ivman so I would get rid of Ivman..
Also have you added yourself to the plugdev group??

maybe anything that you have running - not specifically xorg - perhaps something in kde?

check the ebuild:
RDEPEND=">=gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-3.6.2
>=gnome-extra/gal-2.4.2
>=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.2.2

use gnome-light.
If evolution is the only thing you dont want, do an
emerge --unmerge gnome
emerge gnome-light

emerge -av depclean

then add everything listed to /var/liub/portage/world EXCEPT evolution (and its direct dependencies), and this way you will have a complete GNOME install just minus ...

if you run Gnome: Gnome Sensors Applet - ebuild available from gentoo bugzilla

this should already be installed, as it is needed to compile gnome-applets...
For a primer on writing Gnome 2 Applets check out http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2/ap ... orial.html

perhaps the problem is in smeg and not the menus themselves.

Firstly you do not need the lm_sensors or i2c packages installed to use the sensors, as as you said yourself, the kernel already has the modules, you just need to know which ones to build and then load (however the sensors program comes with lm_sensors IIRC).
Perhaps there is some conflict between ...

run emerge sync as a cron job and you won't have to wait as your tree will be as up-to-date as you want it to be

you shouldnt need to set portdir overlay for portage to find the files in /etc/portage as it should look there automatically.
The portage overlay and the package.mask/keywords/whatever are unrelated

no worries, I had this same prob so was glad i could help

how intruiging - Adelaide or 'a de l'aide' in deed?

emacs is good. If you want it with nice gtk2 menus etc
emerge emacs-cvs

there is a lot of discussion of emacs (and vim) around these forums so searching for previous comments about emacs will probably be useful also, as this may degrade into the usual emacs vs vim battles

in general the learning ...

run the following command:

yeah I get the same thing... annoying..

you may need the latest nvidia drivers to work with the 6600gt, but they are masked as unstable. to unmask them, type as root:
mkdir /etc/portage
echo "media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
modprobe -r ...

I am using vesafb but no fbsplash and I am still getting this with gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r1

I get the same thing - hangs when unmounting filesystems with 2.6.12-gentoo...

this is fixed in gamin-0.1.1 which has been released but is not in portage yet

I am not an expert with valgrind but I think thats just to do with the linking, so I wouldn't be too worried..
Is this a C or C++ program (C I assume), so you shouldn't be declaring a new variable i at the start of your for loop, this should be declared before the for loop starts ie:

{
int i ...

don't specify the version when emerging. Instead just do an:

emerge gnome

I get the same thing, and I think it may be due to the fact that recently the dbus api changed, so there could be a mismatch between the two.

evolution now contains a plugin to do this, but I guess you'll need it running to get the functionality...
Not sure which version it is in / will be in (am not at by linux box at the moment so can't check it)... it is in CVS though (new-mail-notify)

the mininum is not an actual minimum, just a vale that you can set to be some predetermined min, so no, I wouldn't worry.
