42 Here it is working pretty well, and I'm not using any overlay, just the
43 useflag "systemd". I had a problem recently, but it was solved when I
44 filled this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454444 .

46 When I started using systemd, I had a similar problem. It was something
47 related with pam autentication, that I don't remember, but it surely worth
48 to search a little about.

50 In fact, I was connected to the Internet, using networkmanagement, but I
51 had this problem with the tray icon.
