If you wish to remove it completely you'll have to check the contents of it and remove each and every individual package... Or for that matter, emerge -C gnome and then emerge depclean However, be aware that depclean is dangerous and has been known to be wrong. //Spider -- begin .signature Tortured users / Laughing in pain See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
RE: [gentoo-user] What's happened to gnome ... I'm very frustrated
Thanks for everybody's input. I'm going to back my data up and do a complete re-install. It's probably cleaner in the long run. Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[gentoo-user] What's happened to gnome ... I'm very frustrated
I recently ran: # emerge --synce # emerge --update --deep --newuse world # emerge --depclean # revdep-rebuild Afterwards whenever I log into Gnome that's fine, but when I log out the screen goes blank and I have to power cycle the machine. Other symtoms are Gnome apps (such as evolution) freezing. x11-xorg runs ok on it's own. At this stage I'm considering reinstalling gnome (if I knew how). Any help would be really appreciated.
