Howdy - I just ran emerge gallery-remote, and then attempted to run gallery-remote, and got the following java exception: rpbarlow@lappy786 ~/vms $ gallery-remote Instanciating Gallery Remote...

I had about the same error and some other folks too (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-366570-highlight-galleryremote.html) Version 1.4.1-r3 fixed it. For some reason, it's still ~x86-marked, is the package unmaintained?
x86: please mark 1.4.1-r4 stable.
x86 stable and closing
