Bug 359527 – sys-block/gparted: "gtk" use-flag should be gnome use-flag as it only affects gnome, not gtk dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description thomasg 2011-03-19 15:49:34 UTC]

gparted uses the "gtk" use-flag for GNOME-support, not for GTK-support.
Disabling gtk support does not affect GTK at all, as it is a GTK-only application.
However, it disables certain features usually used in a GNOME-environment.

As "gtk" is a widely used global use-flag even in combination with "-gnome" on GNOME-free systems it pulls in unnecessary packages from gnome-base and others that aren't GTK-related at all.

Reproducible: Always

not true, the .desktop file has NotShowIn=KDE; as you can see in the ebuild, so it may be useful for say, LXDE and Xfce4 too
