USE=-gnome emerge fvwm is configuring fvwm WITH gnome hints support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE=-gnome emerge fvwm 2. 3. Actual Results: (...) With GNOME Window Manager hints? yes (...) Expected Results: (...) With GNOME Window Manager hints? no (...) The solution is very simple, it amounts to changing the ebuilds on the pertinent section, where it is written: use gnome \ && myconf="--with-gnome" \ || myconf="--without-gnome" \ it should be placed: use gnome \ && myconf="--with-gnome" \ || myconf="--without-gnome --disable-gnome-hints" \ That's all.
The GNOME hints dont require the gnome libraries, and applications such as panels and applets use them to integrate with the wm. Personally, i dont have the gnome USE flag, but I do want the gnome hints. Can you explain a little why you think they should be disabled with -gnome?
I see. I thought that leaving it on would implicate direct gnome libs using..
WONTFIX.
I've committed an ebuild for 2.5.7 to ~x86 that handles USE flags in a new way, almost every compile-time option (with a couple of exceptions that i suspect everybody will want, eg xft support, xpm, and shaped windows) is configurable via USE flags.
FvwmGtk has optional GDK image support, this is controlled with the imlib USE flag. This allows users to put images in their FvwmGtk dialogs/panels/etc, and depends on imlib image loaders, and GDK (Gimp drawing Kit). GDK requires the gnome-libraries to install, and is why gnome-libs maybe pulled in even with USE="-gnome". to disable gnome libraries installing, you should ensure USE="-gnome -imlib" are in your USE flags, or USE="-gnome -gtk".
