Just for your info, I went down this path like 2 weeks ago when I wanted something new (i can remember what was it but I reckon it was either gdekslets or some other app) and I just unmasked 2.4 and 2.3 stayed back. Of course I was surprised to still see 2.3 there so I promptly unmerge it. Did I see issues? You Bet! Epylog didn't work and so didn't gdekslets. The solution was to re-emerge both of these (revdep-rebuild didn't help at all) and then everything works. That's my experience. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
