hi folks,
Tow additional items appear in my Applications menu ( under Internet submenu ),which annoys me so much.They are "Avahi SSH server Browser" and "Avahi VNC Server Browser".I checked the USE flags of avahi package,and i found the the "dbus" had been enabled,so i disabled it and re-emerged avahi, the two items disappeared,however when i rebooted the system,i couldn't login through gdm with the log said "pam_nologin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username",so i had to re-enable the "dbus" flag.Further more when i emerged avahi with dbus flag disabled, i couldn't re-emerged gdm and the process would terminated for lack of a .lib file which i now guess depends on the dbus flag.So my questions is what's the function of the two applications and Do i need it?If not,i will delete the desktop files of the above two items
Any help will be appreciated.

please report this problem on bugs.gentoo.org

To disable avahi auxiliairy gtk programs you might try disabling the gtk use flag on avahi using /etc/portage/package.use
