after upgrading, i noticed lightdm no longer includes a gtk and qt greeter. These now seem to be on separate packages. So, after the upgrade, and reboot, lightdm no longer started, complaining that gtk greeter was not found. I see some possible solutions: 1) Check for gtk and qt use flags , and emerge the corresponding greeters accordingly, as a dependency. 2) Add gtk greeter as a direct dependency, as per the standard. 3) Add both greeters back into the lightdm package. I think solution 1 may be the best one. Thanks.
This happens when people don't read the elog messages. But to make it easier on our users, we decided to fix this with a pdepend on the greeters. Fixed in 1.4.0-r1
