XChat-Gnome uses SexySpellEntry (from libsexy) to do its spellchecking which in turn uses enchant. So spell use flag should not depend on gtkspell. (Maybe a runtime dependency to enchant) Verified it by unmerging gtkspell afterwards and trying spellchecking. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xchat-gnome with spell USE flag on. 2. 3. Actual Results: gtkspell is pulled as a dependency. Expected Results: gtkspell should not be pulled.

It seems that's what the sources says indeed. fixed without a bump.
