i had try to use on my system app-misc/welcome2l. if this application is set to the default runlevel the system won't startup and hang's one step before the login. in boot runlevel the system startup, but the app wont work. if i use follow: root david # /usr/bin/Welcome2L -msg "Gentoo Linux" Segmentation fault root david # or something else this comes. i thing it's a bug that must be fixed or must be set to unmasked. without a interactive mode must be booted from a livecd. if it's only on amd64 i dont know in the moment. but i had tested.
