I do emerge =3Ddev-libs/libevent-2.0.16 and restart X windows. Everything now works properly. (The recently emerged libevent was 2.0.18.) > Or disable/change the shortcut for print screen as a > temporary workaround. I tried this (in Gnome 2) with System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts/Desktop/Take a screenshot. It was set to and I left it there. Similarly, "Take a screenshot of a window" was set to . Typing triggered this. I think there's something wrong with libevent-2.0.18. Does anybody get problems in KDE or XFCE? --=20 Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
