yeah, I had the same problem here, it worked after remerging
sys-apps/net-tools.
I found a problem in the yp-tools package, it installed
ypdomainname,nisdomainname and domainname.
All those files still existed and where hardlinks to hostname coming
from net-tools. I fixed yp-tools
today. But also I found another hostname binary in /usr/bin. I'm not
sure where this is coming from, I can't find
it in the package database, so it must be a buggy install function in
one of our 600 packages :(. I will find it.
remove that binary(/usr/bin/hostname) manually please

Change the #!/bin/sh line to #!/bin/sh --login
in the windomanager wrappers in /usr/X11R6/bin/wm/.
For  KDE edit /opt/kde2.1/bin/startkde.

BTW: I made a package for sylpeed and configured qmail as my local
mailserver. Receiving mail works no matter what settings I use in
/etc/hosts for
both the IP and the hostname. What mail server are you using?
