Your decision to remove the gtk2 use flag takes away control from people who were using it correctly (by what the description said). I'm not against having gtk2 on my systems, but I prefer gtk1 interfaces, primarily as they are a lot more lighter on memory and disk.
I use USE='gtk -gtk2', and putting gtk2 in my local package.mask is not acceptable, because I do use applications with interfaces in gtk2 only sometimes. If your system has a way that I can get what I want, then that's fine, but it just doesn't seem to be included in your email. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
