Got the patch applied, still opens in a new tab. Thought maybe I needed to log out and back in again so when I got to a spot where I could, I did so. Clicked on a folder on my desktop, new tab in a already running instance of Dolphin. Can I wrap my hands around a devs neck and squeeze yet? Pretty please? LOL I did check, the patch did apply. At first I forgot to set the permissions to portage:portage but emerge was so kind to remind me, by puking on my keyboard. ;-) After that, it emerged without error. I'm considering either going back to a older version or changing file managers. This is ridiculous. Why they couldn't make this change not the default I'll never know. Make the change, set it as a option, announce it for those who want to use it and let it work like it was. It's not like the previous way was broken or anything. Jeez. Thanks for trying. I'm open to ideas but I still want my hands on that neck. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
