for future reference:
Since the vym ebuild is a bit outdated, i asked a friend to hack me a new fancy and shiny one. It works but comes with no waranties and probably doesnt meet the Gentoo quality standards. If you are interested in maintaining it, please feel free to do so. A “proper change analysis” needs to be done (whatever that means). See Gentoo bug report for further details.
