When building media-video/vlc-0.9.3 with qt support i got a interface without any icons on it. This is, somewhat, related to a bug reported on http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=50536, but the guy there is using wxgtk. I then added "jpeg svg bmp png gif tiff" to my use USE flags and ran "emerge -uND world", after that vlc had all its icons displayed. So i believe there should be some "USE" checking on the ebuild to make sure images are supported on the system if one wants a QT interface. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge VLC-0.9.3 without any image support in the USE flags 2. You should get an vlc without icons 3.

I think that might be the png useflag on qt 4.3; which causes other problems too when disabled and is forced on with qt 4.4

First o changed my flags remove and image stuff and recompiled everything, as expected i got vlc without icons. Then i put just "png" for qt in my packages.use, and recompiled it. Now i have vlc with all icons :) Didn't even need to recompile vlc. So, as you expected Vlc needs png support ;)

(In reply to comment #3) > > I think I could just drop qt < 4.4 support; see bug #189925 > Well... while I agree this would be a solution i dunno if this is be best of them, as vlc can cleary work with Qt 4.3. If this is possible maybe something like "if (qt <= 4.3) use png else Ok" should be added to the ebuild...
QT4_BUILT_WITH_USE_CHECK="png" will do that just fine
