  Inspired by the stringy quintessence F-term problem we highlight a generic
contribution to the effective moduli masses that arises due to kinetic mixings
between the moduli and the quintessence sector. We then proceed to discuss few
supergravity toy models that accommodate such effect, and point out possible
shortcomings. Interestingly, in the standard 2-derivative supergravity action
there is no term to mediate the supersymmetry breaking from the kinetic
quintessence sector to the gaugini and generate Majorana masses. Therefore we
also propose a 2-derivative supersymmetric invariant that plays exactly this
role.
