Description Ronald Hummelink 2004-03-30 13:51:56 UTC
The metacity 2.8.0 ebuild introduced G2CONF="${G2CONF} $(use_enable xinerama)"
 which should be correct.

However it appears the Metacity configure script is bugged over. When --enable-xinerama is passed to configure metacity doesn't even test for xinerama, it disables it explicitely.

Passing --disable-xinerama does 'work' (the same, explicitely disable the test for xinerama;) )
Omitting the option leaves autodetection as it was done in the older 2.6.5.


Reproducible: Always

the test is slightly broken, i've added a patch to the 2.8.0 ebuild that should fix this. Please test.
