Yes, xmms is in my default gentoo USE flags. I was interpreting that to mean that xmms is installed, but really that means, apparently, that as mplayer can use xmms, there will be a "connection" from mplayer to xmms. Furthermore, if application_x also uses xmms, there will be a connection from application_x to xmms, and, of course, xmms is only installed once. Ok, think I got it :) thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
