Compiz-fusion actually worked on ancient tdm2 (with intel video drivers). But the thing has been crawling lately, time to clean it up.
emerge --unmerge compiz-fusion compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupportedAdded this to [/etc/portage/package.keywords] on [mediacenter], to get FF3:

All desktops are using FF 3.0.4 at this time.
Setting up gentoo/ubuntu/vista booting on [dune]. Ubuntu is easier to use than a toaster, just boot up the live cd. gentoo stage 3 installs are great if you’ve been through them before and know what you need to do. Vista is of course the most trouble. After several attempts, it turns out that vista must be on a PRIMARY partition. My gparted live cd is my best friend right now.
…or you’ll end up killing wget, and be up the creek without a paddle…

emerge e2fsprogsThis is supposedly fixed already in newer versions of portage.
Warning from mplayer emerge:
You've enabled the 'gtk' use flag which will build
GMPlayer, which is no longer actively developed upstream
and is not supported by Gentoo. There are alternatives
for a GUI frontend: smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer.Note from x264 emerge:
Please note that this package now only installs
x264 libraries. In order to have the encoder,
please emerge media-video/x264-encoder.Updated [package.use]:
# MDM gtk is deprecated as a front end, kill it...
# "Use smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer instead".
# smplayer needs [srt].
media-video/mplayer -gtk srtUpdated [package.keywords]:
# MDM Un-soft-mask VLC (and dependencies)
