If it's not among NEEDED, see lddtree.sh.
But anyway, it seems that it only links through libgdraw.so.4 - another component of fontforge. The funny part is that it doesn't seem as if libgdraw was actually using libxkbui, it just links to it.
(In reply to comment #1) > If it's not among NEEDED, see lddtree.sh. > Didn't knew this script (from app-misc/pax-utils). Very handy. Funny thing #2: I have unmerged libxkbui and re-emerged fontforge, which compiles and runs just fine. I'll dig into the source tree.
Created attachment 233433 [details, diff] Patch to add conditionnal dependendy on x11-libs/libxkbui through a "xkb" USE-flag Here is a working patch. It adds a new use flag that controls the dependency and wheter configure should add -lxkb to the link flags. This features may have been introduced in pfaedit (old name of fontforge) to ease the ddetection of keyboard capabilities. See: * http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/pfaeditchangelog.html (search @12-Jan-2003) * http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/xres.html#Keyboards
Frankly, I think it would be nice to ask upstream, if they really need libxkbui, as those short code blocks, surrounded by _NO_XKB don't look as if they do. If that's the case, it's only a matter of fixing a line in configure.in.

libgdraw.so.4 seems to be using only 3 symbols, that look dependent on xkb: XkbLibraryVersion, XkbQueryExtension, XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping. All three come actually from libX11, so both the ebuild and the upstream need a trivial patch for configure.in. Probably upstream should be poked about it, but as a bug, not a mail list question.
Created attachment 257814 [details, diff] patch for configure.in This patch drops the (most likely) invalid libxkbui dep. requires eautoconf

Honestly, I fail to see a point of that response in this bug.
I've applied patch in fontforge-20110222. Thank you Rafał and Gef! Also I've sent patch upstream for review and possible inclusion.
