No xfce4, please blame librecode

Ok. I realized that I need somethin’ more confortable than dwm to work, test and develop. I also realized that a full desktop evinronment is what I need.
I’ve ever been a kde lover, but I didn’t like lasts decisions made by team and mainly the lastest releases (based on eyecandy and not on really useful features).
So, considering I was looking for an elegant and fast evinronment, I decided to install xfce.
Ta-da! No xfce on gentoo/freebsd 7.0. Or better, no xfce4 for now. The problem is related to xfce-base/xfce4-session., that depends on games-misc/fortune-mod. Fortune-mod, itself, doesn’t compile due a problem related to librecode. Talking w/ Diego “Flameeyes” Petteno`, he told me that librecode isn’t well written, and to solve that compilation problem I’ve to edit librecode source code ( the idea is that librecode must have in its _LIBADD also $(LTLIBINTL) ). However this could be so difficult and it couldn’t give any results. There are also two alternatives ways to seek: I can remove fortune-mod as dependency (uhm, not so elegant). Or I can use libiconv instead of librecode for fortune-mod. I’m working on that, and [equilibrium] from #gentoo-it gave me a patch that he found surfing the web, but it must be adapted to work.

About testing, I requested keyword ~x86-fbsd for gnome-jabber, screenie ( :* ) , gnome-mud and xchat-gnome, I hope to see it soon in the main tree because these are packages used from a lots of users.

Finally, about real life, I discovered that insomnia is stronger than me, and during last night I didn’t sleep. However, I opened a flick account, and I created a new amazon wishlist You can find it here, feel free to donate something if you want.
