Re: gnome wont start: libesd.so.0

well, after "emerge -e gnome", nothing changed. that should reinstall=20
absolutely everything to do with gnome, right?
well it didnt help, but, only now my ever-observant self noticed that=20
emerge doesnt update config files in /etc automatically,
so after moving the ._cfgxxxx files into the correct places, the libesd=20
error has disappeared!
go figure. replaced files were=20
hosts,profile,make.globals,fstab,make.conf,rc.conf, and fonts.conf.
but now i get:
** ERROR **: Failed to match any font....
well, progress is progress...
thanks,
urgrue
