Six depends on kde 3.5, which has been hardmasked for removal from the portage tree. I believe you can use the kde-sunset overlay to keep it around if you really need it. Or maybe there's a version in the works for KDE 4? Chris Reffett On 01/02/2010 11:12 AM, Kevin O'Gorman wrote: > I've been playi
