Description hertz642 2013-12-29 04:47:37 UTC 
Currently the GTK+3 ebuild has a GTK+2 dependency, but it does not appear to require it. I have been building =x11-libs/gtk+-3.10.6 from the Gnome overlay with a patched ebuilt to remove the dependency and applications built with it compile and run fine (under Wayland at least).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Patch x11-libs/gtk+-3.10.6.ebuild
2. ebuild x11-libs/gtk+-3.10.6.ebuild manifest
3. emerge =x11-libs/gtk+-3.10.6
4. Emerge some random GTK+3 applications and run them.

Reading the patch, I wonder if enabling that USE flag wouldn't also block gtk+2 as this configure switch will control if gtk-update-icon-cache is provided by gtk2 or 3 

@gnome, what do you think about this? I doubt if, at this time, many people will be able to drop gtk2 dep from their systems
