please, tell me it ain't so. emerge -upv gtk+ shows x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme as a dep! say it ain't so! let's cut the fat here if possible, at least make it have IUSE="gnome" if possible? mmmkthx :D Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gtk+ 2. 3. Actual Results: shows gnome-icon-theme as a dep Expected Results: should not depend on gnome-icon-theme (unless..?)

seconded.
I thought about closing this bug because it's too "thug". Try to use some proper english when reporting bugs and also the title of your bug is not really appropriate. Look at the ChangeLog for the reason gnome-icon-theme is included.
This bug is not resolved. There are plenty of people who do not want icon-themes installed when they are not necessary. I checked the changelog for the ebuild and for GTK+-2.4.1, adding the icon-theme deps is not necessary. GTk+-2.4.1 only needs GLib, libtiff, libpng and libjpeg. Please add use flags for the icon themes, as some of us don't even use them (you could even add a local use flag). Can you understand my English now?
I agree with this, why does it need >=x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-1.2? While I use many gtk-based apps, I do not have Gnome installed. Reasoning? Thanks
Created attachment 31128 [details] ebuild with added gnome USE flag Just my hack, b/c I have no ebuild experience.
#3, This bug is not resolved because it is not a bug to begin with. The gnome-icon-theme is included as a DEP to give gtk (filechooser specifically) a default theme to fall back to, and it really has no gnome dependencies (check the dependencies of gnome-icon-theme). We are aware of what GTK needs and doesn't need. Sigh, marking as INVALID again.

#6, from http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80839#c3 : ... It is a dependancy of gnome and gnome apps however. ...
Unfortunately the original report was not ideal in its reporting but we have to stick with it now because new reports will be marked as duplicate of this one. I found this bug because I was surprised to see that upgrading from gtk+ 2.2 to gtk+ 2.4 lets gnome-icon-theme show up as new and heavy dependency, 2.7 MByte in size. I understand that the (probably new) file chooser needs some icons but that does not mean that I want -all- of the gnome icons. I need gtk+ only for the gimp and have already plenty of icons installed. Would it not be better to have no icons for the chooser by default ? And add a gnome-icon-theme dependency to gnome-base/gnome where it should be anyways (it may be there already) ? I assume that the file chooser compiles without icons. Please reopen, at least for discussion. Thanks.
No, it would not be better to have no icons by default. I have laid out in a related bug (#50085) what i see as a viable solution, but I don't have the time to investigate it nor do I think it's high priority. Unless someone comes up with more than the same old there is nothing to discuss here.
I looked at bug #50085 and see that you suggest to have basic mime/icon data come with gtk+ itself. That would solve the problem. Or have a minimal gtk-icon-theme package. Thanks for responding and no need for harsh words :)
Just a note for people in a similar situation: Unmerging gnome-icon-theme does not appear to affect the gimp at all.
