Hi,
   I'm definately a bit puzzled here. I am pretty sure I created this
problem but I don't understand why/how exactly. I have my AMD64
machine with both the normal 64-bit environment and the chroot'ed
32-bit environment. I was concerned about how the chroot'ed
environment might have been setting up mounts in the 64-bit
environment so for a few days I turned off /etc/init.d/gentoo32 using
rc-update. I did updates in the 64-bit enviroment and everything is
there and working fine.

   Today I turned the 32-bit environment back on to run Firefox and
the message I got was:

mark@lightning ~ $ l32 /bin/bash
mark@lightning / $ firefox
No running windows found
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
mark@lightning / $

I am doing the xhost thing:

mark@lightning ~ $ !xhost
xhost local:localhost
non-network local connections being added to access control list
mark@lightning ~ $

I wasn't sure what to try to I did an eix-update and tried to build a
newer version of Firefox, which failed. I then tried to rebuild the
version installed which failed the same way, like this, which failed
also:

lightning ~ # emerge -pv =www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r2
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

This is all pretty far over my head. Thanks in advance for your ideas.
