GNOME is not modular in the way that KDE is; many individual GNOME widgets are not installable separately from the meta-package, most notably with applets.

I didn't have the acpi use flag, so the battery applet wasn't included in gnome-applets... I'm trying to keep things to a minimum, so I mostly have -xxx use flags in make.conf, and specify required use flags in package.use. So far the battery applet is the only one that had me going :) thanks, -- Iain Buchanan iain at netspace dot net dot au Oregano, n.: The ancient Italian art of pizza folding. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
