gcolor2-0.4-r2 didn't start on amd64 platforms, because of a segfault on startup. However, I did some minor changes to the source files, without really knowing what I was doing, and now it works. Maybe with this patch, some-one can update the ebuild, and at least flag it with "~amd64".

Created attachment 103493 [details, diff] Patchfile for the segfault Okay, here again is the patchfile. This time as an attachement. Sorry for my double sending, but I am not very used to Bugzilla.
Created attachment 109281 [details, diff] patch for amd64 Slightly different patch.
Created attachment 109282 [details] Updated Ebuild Ebuild just adds the patch and ~amd64 keyword.
Not sure if the patch needs a check to see if the user is on a x86 or amd64 bit system before it is applied. No x86 system to try it on. Either way patch applies clean, and gcolor2 works fine. Sure Martin's Patch is great as well just did not try it before i did a search and found this thread. Would love to get this updated so i don not need to keep this floating around.
Like to add a comment saying i did not write that patch i just hacked it together to work. The patch was pasted onto a website so i hand patched then made the new diff. The person who made it posted as anonymous but it was mentioned that Debian is now using it in there package. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1316799&group_id=119919&atid=685759 The thread and patch are found there. Just do not want to take credit for others work.
I have a similar patch that I generated today, but it has extra changes.
