It stops about 1/2 way through on glib. Apparently this is common. I started it up again as "emerge -e system --skipfirst". How bad of an idea was that? I think about 200 out of about 350 pkgs have been rebuilt.I'll halt this and rebuild dbus again. Etc/
WRT emerge -e world I had a few problems where glibc wouldn't build and tracking down the cause of that fixed my other problems. Could be coincidence, could be related. I rebuilt the toolchain once or twice to get glib going again, recompiled and my problems were solved.

It does affect firefox 2 also. All users except root. All gecko
browsers, I guess (all firefox, and epiphany---didnt' try galeon).
You say it works as root. This is a stretch but it's wicked easy and should be tried: try killing your profile. it's as easy as renaming .mozilla so firefox creates a new one next boot. If it's still broken it only wasted a minute, and if it works you're not banging your head needlessly and later on.
just re-emerge dbus and/or revdep-rebuilt should be enough. Or that
'preserved-libs' stuff.
