I'm of the same opinion. Since lxde will still be supported, I'm leaning towards keeping lxde-base for lxde-related packages and using a new category for lxqt. >>> compton-conf >>> libqtxdg >>> qt-gtk-engine >>> libfm >>> libsysstat >>> obconf-qt >>> pcmanfm-qt >> I think these packages could be placed in the relevant x11-* >> categories, as they are perfectly usable in other environments as >> well, tho for ease of maintenance you could stick them with the LXQt >> packages. >> > +1 (pcmanfm-qt is already in the tree in x11-misc/, libfm too etc) > Maybe it's possible to merge obconf and obconf-qt with a new 'qt' use > flag.
