x11-libs/libxklavier and GNOME 2.24 March 30, 2009

I know I’m a bit late in posting this, but better late than never. If anyone has had issues upgrading to GNOME v2.24, and their session manager is acting weird or not acting at all (because it doesn’t work), it’s a good idea to add this mask to your /etc/portage/package.mask file or folder and then re-update your system:

=x11-libs/libxklavier-3.8

The relevant bug report is here.

OpenOffice Auto-Recover Works in v3.0.1 February 10, 2009

At last, the annoying auto-recover bug is fixed. Prior to v3.0.1 (since August 2008, at least) there’s been a bug where the Auto-Recover feature wouldn’t actually recover anything, but would just pull open the last truly saved version.

Now that bug has been fixed after many tears and outcries, thank goodness. Your $10k document is now safe.
