Well, gedit is a GNOME app (included in GNOME's standard Desktop release) and, as such, depends on quite a few gnome libraries. Looking at the ebuild, I see nothing particularly outstanding about it's dependencies relative to other GNOME apps, apart from gtksourceview. Most GNOME setups will already have these installed. There's an optional "python" use flag that, if enabled, adds some python utilities and plugins. There's also a "spell" use flag for the optional spell checking capability. If you are not already running GNOME and don't want to pull in all the GNOME dependencies, might you want to use some other editor? -- Albert W. Hopkins -- Albert W.
