really like them because I want to have my window in front of me right=20
when click on the icon :). I just started to clean-up my useflags,=20
changed to desktop profile and I'll leave my machine here for the=20
weekend to re-emerge everything is needed for this change. I'm sure=20
some revdep-rebuild and depclean still waiting for me and also I think=20
