The changes that were made when fixing bug 158590 have a nasty side-effect: glipper's gnome support gets disabled, whether the gnome USE flag is set or not. This can be seen rather easily: when glipper is built with the gnome flag set, try clicking on the 'help' button in glipper's preferences menu. Glipper now complains about not having gnome support. All of this is due to some strangeness in glipper's configure.in. The attached patch should fix this. Please note that my autotools magic is not very strong, so having a second thorough look at the patch's contents is advised :).

Well glipper v1.0 got released and it's missing the gnome flag again bug 158590 I hope this patch (if applicable, haven't tried it yet) fixes things before moving to stable.
(In reply to comment #2) Glipper 1.0 seems to need gnome unconditionally, so the USE-flag (and the configure problem) is unlikely to return.
glipper-1.0 depends on dev-python/gnome-python-desktop. checking for GLIPPER... yes checking for gnomeapplet module... no configure: error: gnomeapplet Python module required to build glipper !!!
