Methinks that gtk-xemacs has to go, anyhow. Matthew Kennedy has devised a scheme where you should be able to build xemacs with GTK widgets from a regular xemacs ebuild, depending on your USE preferences.
I agree with Arcady. If you want to try a GTK+ build of XEmacs, try the following: USE_PREF=gtk emerge xemacs-gamma USE_PREF is tested inside the ebuild. Its value can be one of the following: motif, gtk or lucid. Since gtk xemacs is less stable than, say, a lucid or motif build, if USE_PREF is not given, then it defaults to lucid. I think i will mask gtk-xemacs for now. Later, if there are no complaints, then we can just remove it from portage completely. Matt
Yes, it's goood. GTK support in xemacs is part of the gamma distribution. I just think the USE_PREF should be documented somewhere. I discovered it when I was about to hack the ./configure in the ebuild file :-/
