this patch fixed it for me. I just added the patch to the ebuild file. I really
don't know what i'm doing, but the recompiled gftp does indeed work. I made the
patch by looking at the exsisting gtk patch and the ebuild and mimicing what
the gtk patch did

Re-assign a bug miss-assigned because of a really bad summary.
