I have none of those installed, but that k3d looks familiar. It is not installed though. May have read about it somewhere. Is that that 3D desktop thing?

I don't want to remove it and then reboot or something and it blow smoke at me. :/ I don't relish in reinstalling Gentoo. I would, but I would rather not. So you will know, this comes up on occasion when I do a emerge -uv world. I usually do a emerge --resume --skipfirst and it carries on. It just seems to pop up on occasion and is getting under my skin. Thanks for the help though. I added a sig below. Fits me huh??
