Anyway should check forums and bugs for something similar. Well, I'm certainly not an authority here, but based on your comment, I do recall that when I did a recent update (either the emerge of Open Office 2.0 or the upgrade of MySQL), one of them changed some files that were related to X and QT (sorry, this isn't a very good description - I just saw the listing go by on the screen). At the end of the emerge, I got told that some configuration files in /etc had changed and what to do to find out out the files were. When I ran etc-update, it then gave me 3 choices regarding what to do -1, -3, and - -5. I chose the -3 options, which replaces the config files. However, even knowing this, and surmising that this might be the problem, I have no idea what to do to correct it.
