Should I just set -gnome in make.conf to ensure other packages don't pull in older stuff? What do I stand to lose if I do that? You could. xmms is the only program I can think of that wants to pull in gnome 1.4 stuff. You may stand to lose some functionality in certain packages, and some might not put launchers in your gnome menu when you merge them. It's easier to just catch xmms when it wants to update and do it manually. -- Chris I It is impossible to defend perfectly against the attack of those who want to die. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly, on my previous gentoo install gnome-panel nautlius kept segfaulting on startup... That is the correct method. One thing you may wish to do is change the xmms ebuild, or emerge it manually. IIRC, some part of gnome depended on xmms, which (if you have the gnome USE flag set, which you probably do) wanted to pull in alot of older gnome 1.4 bits. -- Chris I To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Yeah, I suspect it may have been xmms merging control-center-1.4.x that broke my previous install. Thanks for your help. -- .~.
