Created attachment 465928 [details] emerge --info without it xdg-screensaver suspend <ID> fails with error like: Can't locate X11/Protocol.pm in @INC (you may need to install the X11::Protocol module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.24.1/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.24.1 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.0/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.24.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.24.1 .) at -e line 6.

For the record, enabling USE=perl wouldn't help in this case because dev-perl/X11-Protocol still isn't pulled in.
Any news on getting this fixed, guys? Anyway, having had a closer look at the problem, the two extra Perl modules are only required when xdg-screensaver detects GNOME (or to be precise, when there is something listening on org.gnome.ScreenSaver D-Bus address). Considering said modules are not keyworded for four of the arches currently supported by xdg-utils (amd64-fbsd, x86-fbsd, mips, ppc64), it would probably make sense to only depend on them when GNOME integration is desired. USE=gnome + a patch removing the "check org.gnome.ScreenSaver" bit when the flag is disabled?

Drop the 'perl' USE flag since it now becomes mostly useless.
