Glad to hear it.  I run entirely ~amd64 on my desktop and things work like 
a charm.

No need to report success.  If the maintainer is happy with the ebuild and 
there are no bugs filed for 30 days (or is it 90?) the package will be 
moved from testing (~arch) to stable (arch).

Remember that these keywords are (generally) for the ebuild, and doesn't 
indicate how well the product provided by upstream works.
