Gentoo at the very least doesn't default +this to using this unfortunately. Even worse, using this flag +makes programs using the gnome2 bindings randomly crash so its +highly unlikely it'll get into distributions / ruby by default. + +There is a workaround however: + +With the program krubyinit from korundum/bin installed it is +possible to simply replace a programs shebang line with: + #!/usr/bin/env krubyinit +Incidently as well as majorly fixing up pthread related startup +crashes, this also makes it possible for kdeinit_wrapper usage, +therefore improving startup speed yet further. |
