Thanks, redirecting 'lieryan' to 127.0.0.1 solves the problem. Though I'd have preferred not to have my username redirects to the local machine, changing HOSTNAME in /etc/conf.d/hostname seems to result in some unwanted side effects[1] to X. I can live with the redirection though, so problem solved for now. [1] for some reason, after setting HOSTNAME to localhost I can't start new GUI program/create new window after NetworkManager/nm-applet is running. I suspect there is some NetworkManager settings lying around somewhere that resets the name to lieryan and the change confused X.
