I've gotta say, I'm very fond of file-roller (the GNOME archive utility). I know that it comes with the baggage of several, possibly unwanted, GNOME-related dependencies, but the 2.10 version opens *every kind of archive*-- including p7zip (assuming you install p7zip for Linux, which is available via Portage, or the relevant backend for the archive type, such as unace or rar)... which arK (the KDE archive utility) does not (maybe p7zip support will be in 3.4.1 or 4.0, but why wait?). Alternatively, WinRAR, which also opens pretty much everything (archives, *.iso files, *.cab files, you name it), including p7zip, runs quite well under Wine, and of course avoids the whole issue of installing additional GNOME libraries. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
