I have been setting USE="-gtk" in make.conf since 2003-4 from what I recall. Perhaps this is the cause of my problem. It blocks some packages which would be installed as a default in a Gnome based system, but are missing from my builds. In the last few years higher and higher screen resolutions make font size too small to read, especially as the users are getting older too! ;-) Thanks for the pointer. -- Regards, Mick
