But emerge -e world is almost always the wrong answer. And it won't solve anything if he is using a portage version with preserved- libs. Because in that case dbus might built against the wrong lib again.

Re: [gentoo-user] firefox et al. crash when attaching file in gmail --- dbus?
I have found a script called emwrap.sh The forum thread attached to that script makes it clear it is important to compile the few core TC files twice before emerge -e system. Then do that twice. Then emerce -e world. Wow. The script is supposed to shorten the overall time, by not recompiling TC and system when compiling the rest of the world. It seems logical. I also found some inconsistencies in my USE flags, so it's back to square one. I hope this works. (I am trying the script). Thank you very much.
