Created attachment 94790 [details] Requested output of patch.
I mailed the portland list about this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/portland/2006-August/000835.html It would be cool if you could contribute a patch (see my mail for details) for it. Thanks!
Created attachment 95094 [details, diff] googleearth-4_beta.ebuild Here is a workaround, tell Googleearth's postinstall.sh script to use it's own internal xdg-utils scripts (xdg-mime/xdg-menu), instead of the global one in /usr/bin/
thx alot Rick, after applying your changes I were finally able to use googleearth
simple workaround, did not think about that, thanks for it! I was on holidays, sorry for the delay :(
