Really weird, random compiz-fusion problem [Solved]

Uhhh... Unless I'm just being stupid, I think the link is broken.

hm ...seems so. Not sure how to get it back. The text file I created I took a bunch of stuff out of already. But this what it looks like now:

Maybe this will help.

OK, So that fixed most of compiz-fusion. Although I had to re-emerge ccsm and now a few plugins will not work. Also VLC quit working and now Superkarambas Liquid Weather complains there is no PyQt4 installed, which is not the case.

...hrm. Lost. Myself.

I must say, I took 5 minutes and updated all of those singly in different konsole windows and everything works great now, everythign opens. I must say almost all of them needed to be updated also, so if you got 5-15 minutes. Just emerge all of them singly. See what goes on. which one needs to be updated or not. I realized not to let a script do everything for you...

Well, I finally bit the bullet and reinstalled... I wanted to use a separate /home partition anyway, and I hadn't done it already, so whatever. Backed up home file to flash drive with tar, then restored it on the new system, and like magic, all my settings were restored. I vow to never again update python.
