After experiencing X11 hangs while trying to run mumble-1.1.6 it appears that these were being caused by libXevie not playing well with XOrg server 1.5. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245081 for more details. Looking at the mumble user forums the devs are saying that for >=mumble-1.1.4 that Xevie is no longer needed and that they have implemented other ways of getting keyboard input for push to talk functionality if Xevie is not installed on a system. This is the only reason that mumble "needs" libXevie. On my system the only thing that "needs" libXevie is mumble and it appears that this should not be a hard dependency anymore and that perhaps this should be removed from the ebuild altogether since it causes significant issues with newer versions of XOrg. I removed libXevie from my system and then copied the existing ebuild to my overlay directory and modified it by removing the reference to X11-libs/libXevie. It built without issues and appears to run OK although I did not test it extensively. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: emerge mumble requires libXevie Expected Results: emerge mumble should nto require libXevie
Thanks, XEvIE dependency/support is gone in -r1.
