Current ebuild installs /opt/Element/chrome-sandbox with 0755 permissions, which prevents Element from starting:

The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/Element/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

net-im/signal-desktop-bin had exactly the same problem not long ago.
