It appears to be a Gnome thing but don't quote me on it. Is it possible that it is enable by default whether it is set or not? There was talk of making it on in the profile instead of make.conf. Yeah, could it be part of your profile? That's up in /etc so it could be different among hosts. > > I would do a emerge -pv and see if it shows up there. If it is a small package, compile it then see if it is built in or not. If it is, then they have it turned on somewhere.

Yeah, could it be part of your profile? That's up in /etc so it coul= d be different among hosts.
