The KDE4 kdelibs ebuilds contain this elog message: elog "If you experience weird application behavior (missing texts, etc.) run as root:" elog "# chmod 755 -R ${config_path}" However, that recommended command is somewhat overly eager by making all files in /usr/share/config (for USE=-kdeprefix) executable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge >=kde-base/kdelibs-4 2. watch the elog output Actual Results: If you experience weird application behavior (missing texts, etc.) run as root: # chmod 755 -R /usr/share/config Expected Results: If you experience weird application behavior (missing texts, etc.) run as root: # chmod go+rX -R /usr/share/config Leaving priority at normal due to the inconvenience caused by messing up permissions in that dir. the kdm/ subdir contains some shell scripts so simply taking away the x-bits of regular files is not an option to undo 755 -R
