clean install from the new 20090826 iso tried x11-terms/terminal and x11-themes/gtk-chtheme included in the bootstrapped system, and also emerged x11-terms/aterm. non works, all reporting cannot open display.

FWIW, same problem with a clean install from the same iso on windows xp
feels like somehow the window server isn't running properly. does netstat /a show a listening on port 5000?
(In reply to comment #2) > feels like somehow the window server isn't running properly. does netstat /a > show a listening on port 5000? > there's no listening on 5000, but there are three entries on tcp 6000 I kind of doubt it's the window server though. I also tried ssh'ing into the windows box from my gentoo desktop, but still can't have Terminal show up on my desktop. same error message
hm. i'm investigating this right now. seems to be on the client side, since i cannot see any connection attempts from my windows boxes to the outside (linux x server). at first i suspected that libX11 is the problem, since i recently activated the xcb USE flag, but re-merging it without it didn't help. i'm starting my search from GTK+ down the chain :) this may take a while ... ;/
ok - it _is_ xcb. emerging libX11 with USE=-xcb fixes the problem. i will mask the USE flag for now, so for you: syncing in about half an hour to hour and then doing emerge -avuDN world should make the problem go away...
ok, appart from the first bug (which i introduced myself of course), poll() was used in libxcb, which doesn't work on interix. i fixed the ebuild, revbumped and unmasked the xcb use flag again. emerge --sync && emerge -avuDN world should do the trick (in half an hour from now on...) (should re-merge libxcb and libX11 at least) :)
