When I look for xine in the Gnome menu, it does not appear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xine-ui 2. execute in the command line xine 3. go to the menu (Applications->Multi Media->x) Actual Results: I can install and execute xine sucessfully, but get no menu option to launch it with. Expected Results: Expected to have a menu option as with MPlayer. Don't know if this is because xine-ui is not a native gnome application.

to add to the uselessness of the gnome useflag with xine-ui i dont see that it uses the ORBit dep at all that it has i see no checks for it or complaints when its unmerged
Confirming: I have the same problem w/xine not showing up in the GNOME menu... Just was going to file a bug re it..
The following needs to be added to the src_install() of the ebuilds: make_desktop_entry xine "Xine Movie Player" xine_48x48.png AudioVideo
Actually there is a little more to be needed to fully support fd.o standards: the icons should be installed in the hicolor structure. I'll take a look for it asap.
Created attachment 53944 [details, diff] Ebuild patch with misc cleanups The attached patch fixes the bug, and adds a few cleanups: it adds useflags, removes unused ones, installs the icons in the right place, and so on: - removes directfb useflag, directfb is already disabled hardcoded into the configure.ac. - adds curl, libcaca, aalib, readline and ncurses dependencies and configure switches (see xine-ui-configure-checks.patch, which adds them) - it cleanups the way ./configure is called - it installs the icon in the hicolor structure - it install the desktop file in the right dir (see xine-ui-desktop-fixes.patch) HTH

Fixed in cvs. Thanks for reporting and using Gentoo!
