Please include this patch:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/downloads/svn/tcp_wrappers-7.6-shared_lib_plus_plus-1.patch

It fixes some security leaks. One of them is something with setenv which causes many gnome applications to ignore tcpwrappers because it would be broken.

*********************************************************
You have a broken TCP wrappers library (setenv included)
Please get the latest TCP wrappers package from your OS
vendor, or recompile TCP wrappers to not include a
setenv() implementation.

Not using TCP wrappers after all.
