This is a recurring topic (I asked it a couple of months ago). The fact is that gnome 1.4 and gnome 2 reside on different 'slots' (they can coexist, just like KDE 3.0 and 3.1), so portage isn't really downgrading your gnome2 packet, but it's upgrading the 1.4 one which was installed either because you emerged gnome 1.4 or because some app required the old version of gnome-panel as a dependency (so don't worry). -- Arturo di Gioia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
