Please stabilize x11-plugins/docker-1.5 on amd64. It works fine on amd64.
how is this thing meant to be used? i started it inside my testing chroot, and it killed the audacious outside (which has an item in the gnome notification bar)
It is dockapp for WindowMaker. If it is running, it displays docklet icons that belong to notification area. It works for me well. I'm using it long time; daily with net-news/liferea. Less frequently with media-sound/qjackctl, net-misc/kphone, net-misc/d4x, net-im/gaim... Just tried audacious + audacious-docklet also. It works with it as well. It does not kill it, even if I started docker while audacious was already running. Maybe you have Gnome running? I do not know how it behaves when there are more such areas to display docklet icons. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="en sk cs ru" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/reserve/install/portage/hs" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 3dnowex 7zip X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa avi bash-completion bdf berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 bzlib cairo caps cdparanoia cdr cli crypt css cups dga dlloader dri dts dv dvd dvdr editor edl emacs emboss encode ethereal exif fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac flash font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gimpprint gphoto2 gpm gs gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile iconv icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack jbig jpeg jpeg2k ladcca lcms leim libcaca lirc live lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir matroska memlimit mikmod mime mng modplug motif mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer msn mule musepack musicbrainz ncurses network new-login nls nocd nowin nptl nvidia ofx ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcre pda pdf pdflib perl png pnp portaudio ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime rar readline recode reflection rtc samba sasl sdl server session snmp sockets sox speex spell spl ssl subtitles svg tabs tcl tcltk tcpd teamarena theora threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vcd vorbis wma wmf wxgtk1 wxwindows x264 xface xml xmms xorg xosd xpm xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc yahoo zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux linguas_en linguas_sk linguas_cs linguas_ru userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_nv video_cards_fbdev video_cards_vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
alright, it passes all the QA checks and works fine for you, so i assume it is related to my setup. marked stable, thanks.
