When you run kaffeine for the first time (after emerging it, version 0.6-r1), it does a little sanity check, and reports that the kaffeine_part was not installed correctly. If you click next, you can get a few more details, it says kaffeine_part.desktop not found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kaffeine version 0.6-r1 2. run kaffeine, which will load the first-start wizard. 3. First start wizard reports the problem. Actual Results: Not having the kpart installed correctly will probably reduce functionality. The file kaffeine_part.desktop is copied to /usr/share/services/kaffeine_part.desktop, which might be correct on other distros, but isn't correct for gentoo. Expected Results: The file should have been installed here: /usr/kde/3.4/share/services/kaffeine_part.desktop if you copy the file manually as root: cp /usr/share/services/kaffeine_part.desktop /usr/kde/3.4/share/services/kaffeine_part.desktop and then delete kaffeine's first-run data: rm -R ~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine When you run kaffeine again, the problem has been fixed. Its just a little problem with the ebuild.
That shouldn't be a problem, as /usr prefix is always checked while it's in $KDEDIRS. Please post your emerge info and the output of "echo $KDEDIRS" ?

I've found that the config file ~/.kde/share/config/kaffeinerc had left the entry: [Player Part] Last Service Desktop Name= Changing that to: [Player Part] Last Service Desktop Name=kaffeine_part has fixed the problem. I don't know why the entry was left empty like that, when I ran kaffeine as the root user the proper entry was created. I think what happened is that blank entry caused it to look for '.desktop' which didn't exist anywhere.
So this seems to be ok as for new users works fine.
