This is the second time I'm reporting this bug. emerge bitchx should build, bitchX emerge gtk-bitchX should build gtk-bitchx As in debian they should be two seperate packages. I like to have both of them installed.
OK, I've committed a new revision of bitchx (r5) which fixes this problem. That is, when gnome is in use both BitchX and gtkBitchX are built and installed. I didn't separate into two ebuilds as you suggested because they would have overlapping files.
