Looking at version bumping conky - bug #117412. The bmpx USE flag depends on
media-sound/bmp. Is this sparc friendly or is a bmpx use.mask required.

test plan from Roman Bogorodskiy

Needed stuff:

1. dbus
2. bmpx with dbus support
3. conky with bmpx support

To configure dbus one need to edit ~/.xinitrc and add such a line:

dbus-launch --auto-syntax --exit-with-session COMMAND

where COMMAND is a command your window manager, e.g. startfluxbox,
startkde, etc.

then one need to:

- restart X
- check if dbus works:
  echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should print something. If not, it's
better to consult this page:
http://bmpx.beep-media-player.org/site/FAQ#Running_with_D-BUS
- add something like "${bmpx_artist} - ${bmpx_title}" below "TEXT"
  word in ~/.conkyrc file. (sample at
/usr/share/doc/conky-1.3.5/conkyrc.sample.gz)
- launch bmpx and start playing some track
- start conky-1.3.5 (currently masked)

BMPx track title and artist should appear on the screen.

Tested bmpx-0.12.9-r1 (since i'm on dbus-0.50 atm) but -r2 should be fine too
so i stuck ~sparc keywords into them.
Conky otoh has issues with bmpx, the track number shows fine but not the track
name or artist. Sometimes they show up blank or with a few chars of mess.

conky+bmpx on sparc

Thanks Gustavo.

Reported problem upstream.

Just as a side curiosity, when upgrading from -r1 (dbus-0.50) to -r2
(dbus-0.60) i had to nuke $HOME/.bmpx otherwise it would segfault on startup.
