GNOME not starting as expected.

HI,

I am not entrirely sure how this works but I am having an issue with starting GNOME this is the error I get
instead of it starting up:

xauth: file /home/neewbeebian/.serverauth.3624 does not exist
xauth: file /home/neewbeebian/.Xauthority does not exist
xauth: file /home/neewbeebian/.Xauthority does not exist

Has anyone else come across this issue before?

Many Thanks,

Ian

Reggia: Gnome 3 instant messaging

hamster shell extension

and while I am at it ... 

Maybe some of you have read my posting on the gentoo-users ml ...

I simply quote it here, maybe one of you uses that extension already or
knows something related.

Gnome 3 instant messaging

I never used Instant Messaging so far, but now with gnome3 I see the
screenshots of notifications within gnome shell and the somehow
integrated chatting.

But I have no idea how to get there on my desktop.

I have the full gnome ebuild installed, got some gmail and icq account
within pidgin or empathy but somehow I don't get it.

Feels stupid 

Could someone get me started on this?
I googled quite a while already but didn't get very far ...

Maybe I am missing something somewhere, I had gnome-light before and
upgraded to full gnome 3 a few weeks before.

Thanks for any pointers, Stefan

Packaging Trinity--looking for help

The short version:  we're looking for someone with knowledge of
autotools, ebuilds, and, ideally, the eclasses from kde-sunset 
(which is why I'm posting this here) who's willing to contribute a 
bit of time to help us unravel a mysterious build failure.

The long version:  Trinity, the fork of KDE3, is currently in the
middle of converting from the old autotools-based KDE build system
to a more maintainable setup based on cmake.

I'm part of a small group of people (currently two-and-a-fraction)
trying to package Trinity for Gentoo and related distros (for a little
info on where we're at, see 
http://wiki.hasnoname.de/tde:trinity-overlay_on_funtoo_gentoo ).  
What we've found is that the packages that have already been 
converted to cmake can easily be wrapped with ebuilds, but some 
of the autotools-based packages break.

Upstream is not doing anything but the most vital fixes to the
autotools system—they're really short on manpower.  That means
creating a patch to handle the problem until the cmake conversion
is complete, which is likely to be at least a year in the future . . . and
this is where our group is running into problems, because we don't 
have anyone who understands Makefile syntax at the level needed
to grasp everything going on in the old build system.

The best we've managed to be able to do is get the builds to reach
the linker stage, where they break due to missing libraries which we
seem to be unable to reinject—append-libs and various methods of
manipulating LDFLAGS within the ebuilds seem to do nothing.  Our 
attempts to work on the build system itself have so far only resulted
in it failing earlier.

[kde-sunset] git live ebuilds

Hello KDE3 users,

I started my own KDE3 fork, I added cmake support to it (partially yet) and I 
want to create live ebuilds for it. As I saw, these is no git support in kde3 
eclasses, only svn. Any volunteer to add git support to eclasses?

There is my current work: https://github.com/serghei
