Hi. I'm Ron A. I do believe "eselect profile list" shows a hardened desktop option, if I'm mistaking I DO have a hardened desktop that runs openbox seamlessly.
Not sure as to the default USE flags, because I always review and add them via /etc/portage/package.use. I do know of an gentoo based distro that has a working e17 environment using the hardened tool-chain. I've learned much through gentoo and these mail lists. 1st post to list.
