Hello,


Ignore my comments about the authorization issue, this was due to some
local debugging which was laying around here.  The proposed code
should work.  If you paste your ebuild script somewhere and I'll take
a look at it.

There's also the option of building CLFSWM with the scripts included
in the distribution.  I load it manually so I don't know much about
that.

The references of the previous post had to be:
