[gentoo-user] how to emerge a package for python2.5 while python2.7 is default?

[gentoo-user] 32bit version of libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 is mission
hi, i want to use the binary version of adobe reader. it only has 32bit version, so it depends on a 32bit version of libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0. but on my system i can only find one libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 in the /usr/lib64 directory. i was able to use the adobe reader, but after a update it no longer works. i cannot remember what i changed. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/

[gentoo-user][kde4] system tray can only put into a panel?
hi, i am trying to reorganized the layout of the kde widgets to make the desktop looks more personalized. i found the panel is pretty useless, so i removed it; but i need the system tray, because some applications only put a icon into it. after i put the system tray widget onto the desktop, i found some icons cannot be displayed, but they are displayed fine when the tray in put into a panel. is this a bug on kde? is there a fix for this? -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/

Maybe someone else more experienced in KDE can explain what happened and why the particular functions are now not available to plain users, or if you have another machine which has been running properly you could compare and contrast access rights between the two systems. Meanwhile, just as a test, you may want to logout of X, move the /root/.kde4 folder and /home/user/.kde4 somewhere else, then restart X as a plain user and see if these functions are working properly now. If not then I suspect the problem is not with these user specific configuration files but with the system KDE or X files.

When you login to xorg using a root account some configuration files become owned by root. A normal user can no longer access them. Most desktops should be clever enough to allow users to create their own configuration files in their home directory - but I am not sure how you have yours set up. if kde created configuration file when i log in as root, it should only create the configuration files for my root, and should not affect other users. so i guess those issues are not specific to kde, and my account do not have access to those resources any way... -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
