|| ( gtk? ( x11-libs/gtk+ ) qt? ( x11-libs/qt ) ) this will fail when USE="-gtk -qt" ... it was broken in earlier portages but was fixed before 2.0.50_pre9 (didnt test earlier _preX)
I fixed this bug. (I think this bug has been from very old portage...)
Double check this, spanky. Figure out which portage breaks it, if you could.
i tried 2.0.49 and it was broken ... looking back at the first report (Bug 12630) it says you fixed it back around 03 Feb 2003
supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
