I'm sure that's the case.  Gentoo does really a superb job of ferreting
out the right mixture of patches most of the time.  I'm not really a KDE
user, but given the fact that Slack doesn't have the setup for xfce as a
standard offering, I chose to run KDE for the initial tinkering period.

The more serious problem is with X.  I need to determine what to do
about the flickering screen before I try it again.  When I see that, I
immediately think of potential monitor damage.
