27 I thank you for the expert advice. I'm doing the emerge now, but even
28 if it succeeds, I'm worried that the xorg-server will still own this
29 file, since portageq seems to see that it does. This seems inherently
30 wrong.
31
32 Sigh. I'm too far along to flinch now, so if this emerges, I'll
33 probably restart X.
34
35 Wish me luck.
