Currently if you emerge hotkeys and xosd hotkeys will fail because it is linked against libxosd.so.0, but the version of libxosd is .so.1, not .0. Creating a symlink from /usr/lib/libxosd.so.1 to /usr/lib/libxosd.so.0 works fine however.
Erhm.. correction, this doesn't work :( It will execute properly for the first button press, but then segfault immediately. I assume this is due to a difference between the .7.0 and the 1.x version of libxosd. I didn't notice originally that I had both .7 and 1.x versions of the xosd package installed. I think this probably created some problems. I did an unmerge and rebuild of the both, and then it created other problems, seemingly related to bug 9690
Just some more info: I rebuilt both xosd 0.70 and hotkeys .5.5 with debugging information (CFLAGS=" -g -ggdb" in make.conf) and got the following info. First of all the files in /usr/lib/xosd-0.7.0/* have to be copied to /usr/lib and ldconfig has to be run before hotkeys will run (as in the previous post). Running through GDB I get the following: (gdb) file /usr/bin/hotkeys Reading symbols from /usr/bin/hotkeys...(no debugging symbols found)...done. (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/bin/hotkeys (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

I noticed that making a symlink from libxosd.so.2 to libxosd.so.0 works to the extent that hotkeys doesn't segfault but the osd text is cropped. Running hotkeys with -o off makes it segfault right away.
Bouncing back to bug-wranglers due to time constraints.
Please try the new hotkeys 0.5.7.1 ebuild. Hopefully this version will solve some problems.
WORKSFORME :) Great work, no problems at all.
