As I said in the other thread, you need to set the openrc-force USE |
| 82 |
flag for gnome-settings-daemon. Again, this is not really supported, |
| 83 |
it will result in reduced functionality, and somethings will probably |
| 84 |
fail. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
And since most of the underlying infrastructure of Xfce is really |
| 87 |
GNOME, this probably will happen with more and more packages in the |
| 88 |
future, as more and more things start using the more sane and advanced |
| 89 |
functionality of logind. |
