27 I've already changed that yesterday. I'm am now using python-2.6 and
28 have re-emerged gnome. After that the problem still existed. The only
29 packages I've installed so far after the base system is xorg-x11 and
30 gnome. This morning I started an "emerge --emptytree world" to rebuild
31 everything with python-2.6. Maybe tonight it will be done and I'll have
32 more information. Apparently and new install on an amd64 box defaults
33 to python3.
