Its broken for those who use openoffice and numerous other applications that use the transparency option. In OO, most of the icons have a black background, and some slides in the presentation client are also affected for me. As I use my gentoo laptop to give presentations its a show stopper. (When I first loaded it up, it looked OK, but then when I loaded the presentation in public it became "what OS is that - god its ugly ..., why dont you use ..." - nothing like a public fiasco to drive home gentoo's shortcomings :( )
Ive fixed it for my self (as Ive previously described), but what about the new or average user which is why I originally brought it up? My needs are covered, its "gentoo" itself that I think is being shortchanged. In any case, this is getting even further off-topic for the security list. Check the bug.
