When trying to emerge vlc with -xcb useflag, emerge aborts during configuration with: configure: error: Please install xcb-keysyms from xcb-utils. !!!

mozilla plugin needs xcb-keysyms. Really, why not take the hint from the old bug and make 'X? (x11-libs/libX11[xcb] x11-libs/xcb-util)' ? xkb-keysyms seems to be needed for globalhotkeys plugin too (one that seems to be used by curses interface) When it's 1-1 "library for feature" it's one thing, when a library modifies different feature, it's another.

By the way, the xcb use flag is not documented in the metadata.
