However, I am not smart > enough to know how to use/apply this patch. Can someone clarify for > me please? I've never done such a process before. Try this sequence: 1. Start xterm. 2. type "cd /usr/portage/x11-terms/gnome-terminal". 3. "nano files/gconf.patch". 4. Switch to browser, select the lines of the patch (everything from below the equal-sign-line to html horizontal separator). 5. Middle-click xterm window should paste the patch there. 6. Switch to xterm, Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit). 7. "nano gnome-terminal-XXX.ebuild" where XXX is desired version number. 8. Put the following line inside braces below "gnome_src_unpack" line: epatch "${FILESDIR}/gconf.patch" 9. Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit). 10. "repoman manifest". 11. "emerge gnome-terminal" Congrats, you've created your own patched ebuild ;) Homework: put it into local overlay so it won't be wiped on sync. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
