 Hello,
   I don't know if this was asked previously or someone had the
 same problem I'm about to talk about. If that is the case, please
 redirect me to some place where I can find the answer.

 I tried to upgrade to modular X religiously following the Migrating to
 Modular X HOWTO. I removed the old X and installed the new one.
 Everything was fine until I rebooted and tried to open my favourite
 terminal (uxterm), but it wouldn't. It gave the following error:

 xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open
 shared object file: No such file or directory

  snip 

 Thus, it wasn't able to continue with the next emerges. The questions
 are: First, how can I fix this? Second, does all this have something to
 do with my not being able to run uxterm?

 Last, but not least, scrolling down in firefox works abnormally slow for
 some reason. Does this -again- have something to do with all the other
 problems?

 Thanks in advance.
   

This may help with one of the problems.

I'm not sure about the rest but at least you can get that missing one.

Quick fix: add this to /etc/portage/package.use
x11-libs/libXaw xprint

and remerge libXaw.

 That's when I recalled I had to do a revdep-rebuild before complaining
 :), but it failed while doing a certain emerge (last lines):

Sounds like a gnome-panel bug, not related to Xorg at all. Have you
searched bugzilla?

 Last, but not least, scrolling down in firefox works abnormally slow for
 some reason. Does this -again- have something to do with all the other
 problems?

Doubtful.

Thanks,
