emerge ldxe-meta lxdm (two packages, the meta package does not include the desktop manager) then config /etc/conf.d/xdm to start "lxdm" Gets most of the useful stuff without committing to all of GNOME or KDE LXDE will run most of the "gtk" based tools found in the app and x11-* categories Happy installing! -- G.Wolfe Woodbury
