I'm very happy that I did the gnome update on a virtual gentoo machine instead of my real machine :) The virtual gentoo is unusable at the moment because gnome is very sick indeed.
I avoided the big update on my real machine when I saw that gnome-shell (I think it was) demanded the installation of systemd on my openrc-only system. Now, I've been running systemd on the virtual gentoo machine for months with no problems, so I wasn't worried about the big update on that machine. AFAICT the systemd update has nothing to do with gnome's sickness, systemd-206 seems to be working just fine on the virtual machine. The gnome desktop, however, is completely black except for one functioning gnome main-menu applet, which lets me open an xterm for potential debugging efforts. Running nautilus from the xterm prompt produces this error: GLib-GIO_ERROR: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background' Trace/breakpoint trap Has anyone else tried the same update yet?
