Thanks for the pointer. It got me going... sort of. Now I know why we don't have the latest seamonkey in the Gentoo tree. It requires >=dev-libs/nspr-4.9.3 and the highest ebuild of nspr in the tree is 4.9.2, even though I did an "emerge sync" today. So I'd have to build nspr and nss locally

Hi All, An old Pentium 4 machine which is refusing to die, is getting problematic running the full KDE desktop. I was thinking of using razor-qt which has a broadly similar look so as to not alienate the users (they mostly use KDE apps). Have any of you tried it out on a stable Gentoo and are
