Hi!

Please see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567720#c3 for what is needed for >=media-gfx/gimp-2.9.2.  I'd be happy about an option or support by default, as you prefer.  I wonder about dependencies added by that.

Thanks in advance!

If you tested it and it works, and doesn't break any other tests, feel free to apply that change.

If you are unsure, maybe RANDR support could be made dependent on an eclass variable.

I'd say we turn it on by default, and eventually add a variable to turn it off if we find some failing ebuilds.

Excellent, I went for that approach now.
