I have gnome2 installed and running in this system.. but xmms wants to downgrade that to gnome1 versions of some gnome related packages. Also .. I don't understand the need for: indent(indentation engine), oaf(this i don't know if is used for gnome2, maybe only for gnome1 since i have gnome2 and that wasn't installed), and guile(scheme interpreter) .. Am I missing something.. or shouldn't xmms be happy with the gnome2 versions of the installed packages? Miguel
well, xmms only has support for gnome1, but I do not know how backwards compatible gnome2 is for it.
xmms is gtk/gnome1, thats just it. And the deps seem fine to me: one of the gnome-base packages probably uses scheme -> guile probably needs ident (just guessing here, check the ebuilds for exact deps). oaf is gnome1 too. No, all looks fine to me. When you use gnome2 mainly, just set USE -gnome. The only thing that probably will miss noticably is the desktop item.
