After upgrading to 212.1, I then restarted X/KDE4.3.3.  And things that did work took forever, such as launching Konqueror.  Things that didn't work took longer.  Eventually, I attached gdb to a terminally-delayed amarok, and found that it was stuck in libdns_sd.so.1.  After figuring out which package this belonged to, mDNSResponder, I noticed, via eix, that it was recently upgraded.  So I masked it, re-ran emerge to update world, bringing me back to 107.6-r5.  And now things are almost back to normal.  Even amarok starts.

This seems like it would block bug #290822, but I'll let an actual dev decide that.

I'm going to consider scarabeus' advice and try avahi[+mdnsresponder-compat] instead.

Try the new one... this beast went looong without bumps.
