mozilla, opera, xchat are filling up first the physical memory (64Mb) then the swap partition (100Mb). when both are full program is killed before to display anything. this behaviour appeared after installation of icecc-0.5 which requested emerging of the following packages : icebgset-0.5 icets-0.8 icesndcfg-0.8 libmng-1.0.4 lcms-1.09 qt-3.1.2-r3 which I downgraded to try to solve the problem : no succes xft-2.0.1-r2 which I re-installed : no succes. opera was working before on the same system -> suspection of a run-time library or config file.

i'm gonna have to say this isn't a keychain bug
nor a kernel issue... who handles icecc?
how about adding 1 gb swap ? maybe your system is running out of memory (xfree, mozilla using very much memory)
icecc-0.5 is not exactly the current stable version - why did you install that? To which Qt version did you downgrade and why? By the way, it does _not_ require xft - you should not emerge xft at all if you have a current xfree 4.3.x. Please provide this information and maybe the output you see when you try to start one of the failing applications from an xterm.
I just noticed how old this bug is... aillas, is anything of this still a problem for you?
No reaction, closing as WONTFIX since it deals only with old stuff
