[Gentoo] Migrations and Modular-X goodness

Now for the first time, I have a desktop machine, in my own house, running Gentoo, and being used as my everyday machine. Previously I've had large numbers of servers at home, and desktops/laptops with Gentoo at the office, but never actually at home. This has been because I've needed Windows for my schoolwork and previous jobs, and a remote X server + PuTTY served my needs fine.

Now that I no longer need Windows everyday, I've ditched it. There are a still a few things that need migration.

• 4Gb of old ICQ history I'd like to export to text/XML.
• something to sync contact data from my Handspring Visor Edge to my Nokia 6310i phone (I've got the serial cable) - On Windows, this was handled by an application called WinFonie mobile, which also supported other formats (which would be useful too)
• Support for the extra function buttons on my Logitech wireless keyboard and my logitech mouse (Logitech Cordless MX Duo).
• Support for the encryption and battery status functionality of the Logitech hardware.

Almost everything else has been smooth sailing so far, as I've kept my profiles and settings from previous Linux laptops and machines at the office.

I decided to take the plunge with Modular-X while installing this machine directly. I ran into two packages not yet converted for modular-x. x11-misc/unclutter (bug 117211) which hides the cursor as needed. media-video/nvidia-settings (bug 114603). unclutter took me 20 minutes and the modular-x fixes are in the tree for it now. nvidia-settings took me a few hours to trace the source of the problem, and I posted a patch to the bug, as I didn't want to touch something that major without speaking to azarah/eradicator.

Now I get to start on my backlog of interesting Gentoo things and bugs that have been lurking in my inbox.
