Description Jörg Hoh 2004-03-20 06:17:57 UTC

root-tail does not work with several desktop environments like kde, gnome and xfce. I found a  modified package, which is enabled to work with xfce (tested, it works for my xfce4).

Could someone incorporate these modifications into gentoo?

this needs to goto whomever handles root-tail, there are tons of names in the changelog and no herd/maintainer
