Subject: [gentoo-user] Strange desktop happening following update world

1 On reboot following recent update world I find the xfce4 manager is
2 not able to display the former desktop wallpaper or even the
3 wallpapers packaged with the install.
4
5 Other obvious changes are that ctrl-alt-bkspc no longer shuts X down
6 And the desktop seems to take a good bit longer to initially load.
7
8 xorg-server was one of the updates:
9 Dropping back one version on xorg-server did not help.
10 Updated was: (~)1.6.3.901-r1
11 Dropped back to: (~)1.6.3.901
12
13 The x11 packages installed are listed below. Notice the large number
14 of drivers... That's been like that for a good while since I don't
15 include a VIDEO_CARDS setting in /etc/make.conf.
16
17 (I tried it a few times... wrestling the nvidia and nv drivers, but
18 found just leaving it out allowed things to just work.)
19
20 I doubt the number of drivers is the source of my current trouble
21 since as I mentioned its been like that for mnths, possibly over a yr.
