Now I see what you mean. It seems important. ;) But if you add the X flag on virtualx.eclass, every package that "inherit virtualx" will also have a X USE flag. Or there's another workaround for this? Like "if IUSE has the USE flag, use it" Because if it is so, what about those packages that "inherit virtualx" and that the X USE flag would make no sense? Like, for instance, app-office/gnumeric. There's no sense on USE="-X" emerge gnumeric. I can think of two other solutions. 1. Every package that need to "inherit virtualx" needs virtual/x11, so just drop the DEPEND on the eclass. I don't know if this will break anything, but I can't think of a package who will inherit virtualx and not DEPEND on virtual/x11. 2. The second solution would be to create a common variable that pass to the eclass. Perhaps something similiar as what the apache.eclass and the depend.apache.eclass do. []s Fernando Serboncini
