Created attachment 292971 [details, diff] patch with updated error message If setting file capabilities fails, the fcaps() function included in the i3status ebuild prompts the user to enable SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES in the kernel config. However, the SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES config option was removed in 2.6.33_rc1 (it's now hardcoded to be enabled), and so for users running a more recent kernel versions, the error message is likely to result in confusion. I have updated the fcaps() error message in gnome-base/gnome-keyring, and believe that the same modifications also ought to be made in the other copies of fcaps() in portage. A proposed patch for the i3status ebuild is attached.
