I slightly updated the ebuild in order to keep it (see ChangeLog), but it turns
out that it needs work, as expected initially.

Debian page mentions it still needs gtkglarea-1 which needs the gtk-1 stuff.
Anyway, lightspeed-1.2a-r1, with the debian patch and gtkglarea* is in the tree
but masked. It crashes on me once fired-up. If no-one is willing to take care
of it, either we keep the gtk-1 version, or we punt the package. It is at the
bottom of my priorities to further debug or maintain it.

Shame. I don't really care about lightspeed, only about getting rid of gtk+-1.x
and glib-1.x

But if there is no alternative, dunno..

Just tested it again, and tried every possible option.. Seems to work fine
here.

Indeed. I removed the masking. Feel free to ask for stabilization and remove
the gtk1 version.

Thanks for testing.
