Created attachment 40797 [details, diff]
Patch to check if settings are of type list or string before appending or extending

I'm Not certian if this is the best place to do this sort of checking but it
works for me

err nm that patch it screws up more...

I was trying to pass the use flags in a variable inside a bash script

livecd_use="-X -gtk -gnome -svga -alsa -doc -arts -java -kde -qt -ipv6 socks5 livecd fbcon ssl"

then run catalyst -C livecd/use="${livecd_use}" ... in a script

livecd_use should instead be set like this to avoid it being converted into a string(a list is expected) once python gets it:

livecd_use="'-X' '-gtk' '-gnome' '-svga' '-alsa' '-doc' '-arts' '-java' '-kde' '
-qt' '-ipv6' 'socks5' 'livecd' 'fbcon' 'ssl'"

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
