There's new bugfix release: http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/src/ I see that there's still no ebuild in CVS, and nobody reports that. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Please don't assign bugs unless you know where they should be going.
6.7.0-r2 and 6.8.0-r1 both contain the patch, as well as xfree-4.3.0-r7. We watch upstream too -- quite closely for applications of this importance, oh ye of little faith. And actually, it has been reported already. See bug #64265 for example -- apparently your search didn't catch a combination of xorg-x11 and 6.8.1 in the summary. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 64152 ***
