Sabayon development

[David Groos]

Joshua, I gleaned a few things from your post.  I tried changing to a couple
of other themes besides Human.  Clear look didn't seem to work any better,
Darkroom however, did, but in the end it only crashes as well.  I tried
removing that directory

OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty:
'/tmp/sabayon-temp-home-zDODmA/.gconf/apps/panel/applets'

 and restarting and didn't seem to help.  Thanks for trying!
