Hi, gdm-3.6.2 fails to compile while using python 3.2. The problem already appeared in the German forum (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7210984.html?sid=f486a717eba9645e7163753422363733)

As said in the forum, after selecting python 2.7 I was able to compile and install gdm-3.6.2 and it appears to work fine also if I have now set python 3.1

What version of gdbus-codegen is installed ?

ftr, I just rebuilt gdm with python3.2 as system interpreter and the USE flags you provided and it was succesful
