Not specifically. I was told recently that new versions put into portage are always masked as unstable for 30 days before becoming masked. I don't know if that's what's going on here, but I do know that, at least, gtk-qt-engine seems to work fine. You can unmask it by putting x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine ~x86 into your /etc/porage/package.keywords file. > >gnome-theme-extras if you want to have lots of choice. -- "It has been said that man is a rational animal.
