Well, this MAJOR annoyance lies somewhere between Radeon-KMS and gnome3's graphics/cairo. This started some 3 months back and I can only get some level of normalcy when I build cairo using "with_debug=1". Very strange. Also, a number of apps just flat-out refuse to start; most notably mozilla's firefox & seamonkey. Monsieur Pédron is aware of the problem, although as stated it's been over 3 months.

While I'm on a roll :P
One major peeve is that installed apps fail to create an icon in the desktop menu structure. I know that
a) maintainer must set DESKTOP_ENTRIES in the Makefile OR
b) users can add appname.desktop in /usr/local/share/applications/
but as a dreamer, I know there has to be a better solution other than badgering maintainers or slogging through the task of adding menu shortcut items?
