Description:   Opened: 2005-02-27 09:14 0000 
For emacs-22.0.50_pre... and all current emacs-cvs, the
--with-toolkit-scroll-bars configure option is given unconditionally.

It should be another USE flag (perhaps toolkit-scrollbars) given that the
toolkit menus et al (especially for gtk2) are significantly better but the
non-toolkit scrollbars have better functionality....

In any case, the combination of:

   --with-x-toolkit=gtk --without-toolkit-scroll-bars

is common and should be supported by the ebuilds.

I just added patches for emacs-cvs 22.0.50 and 23.0.0 that implement the
suggestion.  Also a patch to use.desc.local documenting it.

With this you need toolkit-scroll-bars in USE to get the toolkit's scrollbars.

Having -toolkit-scroll-bars results in emacs' own bars (which work like athena
bars and are therefore useful, unlike the br0rked gtk bars).

I used use_with to do this.  Another alternative is a -ve USE flag, such
that --with-toolkit-scroll-bars is the default and --without-toolkit-scroll-bars
is only used iff the USE flag is specified.  I'll redo the patches if that
is more likely to be applied.

Thanks.  This is a great idea. I've added it to both emacs-cvs ebuilds and
placed toolkit-scroll-bars in use.local.desc
