[gentoo-user] [OT] gxineplugin insists on opening link
Hi All, I have changed all the video file associations in Opera to use mplayerplug-in but for some reason it continues to try to open this link with gxine.

That appears to be correct, as there is no mention of overlay-specific USE settings anywhere in the layman docs. So, it seems that one still has only the same two options that portage offers: - global, in make.conf - per package/version in package.use and the presence of layman does not change this rule in any way. Actually this makes sense - all layman does for portage is provide a whole new bunch of ebuilds to select from.

I fail to see how the X client programs have any effect on the the responsiveness of the server, yet this is exactly what you are saying. Then you talk about vulnerabilities in the client apps with an implication that this can somehow affect the server which runs as root. But that is just not true, except if a client can exploit a vulnerability in the server (which is to my mind not what you are saying). Finally, there is very little point in debating this topic. If Linus says that niceness has never had a whole lot of effect in Linux, and that perceived differences are entirely due to reducing the latency a specific app experiences, then I am going to go with the one guy that knows the subject and consider your experiences to be anecdotal.
