"Steps to Reproduce" will explain it better! I was not able to get a gdb of it, so I hope strace will help. It seems to be reproducible with some web pages (opened from liferea) but maybe not others. If someone thinks it's not a Gentoo-related problem, warn me and I'll report it myself to the package's own bug tracker. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run liferea and update the feeds. 2. Middle-click an url to open it on a tab inside liferea * tested with http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/artigos/verArtigo.php?codigo=4133 3. Open evolution or epiphany, and open an html mail or a web page 4. Switch back to liferea 5. Hang: controls are not entirely shown, only "white-text-area" versus "control-color-rest-of-window" but not text, pictures etc 6. Pressing the Close window button pops a dialog stating that the app doesn't respond anymore, kill it? 7. Bug Buddy isn't activated. Actual Results: See Steps. Expected Results: Normal functioning. $ equery uses liferea [ Searching for packages matching liferea... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for net-news/liferea-1.0_rc4 ] U I + + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc) + + firefox : Build against Firefox instead of Mozilla + + gtkhtml : Adds support for gnome-extra/gtkhtml - - mozilla : Adds mozilla support + + debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging.

Personally I don't see how this would be related to the Liferea ebuilds. Please do as you said and file your bug upstream, thanks!
