This may not help now, but keep it in mind next time you install from
scratch...
step 1) install a basic text-console-only system
step 2) "emerge gimp" (or some other X app). You'll end up with a gimp
and a functional X and twm. I prefer blackbox. So I would
"emerge bbkeys". This pulls in and sets up blackbox on X.
The emerge at step 2) pulls in umpteen dependancies, and is an
overnight job on a 400 mhz PII. I have quite a few apps, and my world
is 85 lines.
