The problem is the configure call: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-debug --program-suffix=.emacs-22.0.50 --without-carbon --with-x --with-xpm --with-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --without-gtk --with-x-toolkit=lucid --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu So there is a contradicting option concerning the x tool bars. It is due these lines in the ebuild: if use X; then myconf="${myconf} --with-x" myconf="${myconf} --with-xpm --with-toolkit-scroll-bars" myconf="${myconf} $(use_with jpeg) $(use_with tiff)" myconf="${myconf} $(use_with gif) $(use_with png)" if use gtk; then einfo "Configuring to build with GTK support" myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=gtk" else einfo "Configuring to build with lucid toolkit support" myconf="${myconf} $(use_with Xaw3d toolkit-scroll-bars)" myconf="${myconf} --without-gtk" myconf="${myconf} --with-x-toolkit=lucid" fi Though X is in the USE variabel, the scrollbars are deactivated when -gtk and -Xaw3d.
It is correct, scroll-bars are enabled only when using the gtk interface or Xaw3d.
Not a bug, closing.
