hmm yeah, but we do like to keep an eye on gnome/gtk related ebuilds. 

For example the patching should happen in src_unpack ofcourse, the SRC_URI should use mirror:// , the RDEPEND line should be removed. I dunno how it went in, but those things shouldve been fixed at least.

and in the patch you remove stuff like fallback argument values, i'm not sure that's a really good idea ? What does the author has to say about that ?

Your ebuilds should be as correct as possible when you put them in.
