Compared to 6.4.3.2, version 6.4.4.2 adds a USE flag forcing `dbus` whenever `gtk` is selected. Why? I've been building libreoffice with `USE=+gtk -dbus` for as long as I remember and never had a problem. I also tested building 6.4.4.2 in an overly removing the offending line "gtk? ( dbus )" from the build. The build completed fine and libreoffice appears to work as usual. What is supposed to break without this USE change?
Missing menubar on 'minimalist WMs'. If there is a better solution I would be glad to use that, but there are too many people with 'minimalist WMs' and whatever missing config to tell everyone separately to use that workaround.
Many thanks for the super quick answer!! I checked out the bug report you linked. The root cause appears to be a missing +X USE flag on sys-apps/dbus. I'm also using a 'minimalist WM' (fluxbox, no "desktop environment"), BUT I do have sys-apps/dbus[X], and _still_ build libreoffice with USE=-dbus... whatever that means... My first guess was that the libreoffice build system may just _enable_ dbus support *despite* --disable-dbus, if it detects that dbus is installed, but that does NOT appear to be the case. ------- # ebuild /etc/portage/overlay/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-6.4.4.2.ebuild configure [...] ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libreoffice-6.4.4.2 --htmldir=/usr/share/doc/libreoffice-6.4.4.2/html --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-system-dicts --with-system-epoxy --with-system-headers --with-system-jars --with-system-libs --enable-build-opensymbol --enable-cairo-canvas --enable-largefile --enable-mergelibs --enable-neon --enable-python=system --enable-randr --enable-release-build --disable-breakpad --disable-bundle-mariadb --disable-ccache --disable-epm --disable-fetch-external --disable-gtk3-kde5 --disable-online-update --disable-openssl --disable-pdfium --disable-report-builder --disable-vlc --with-build-version=Gentoo official package --enable-extension-integration --with-external-dict-dir=/usr/share/myspell --with-external-hyph-dir=/usr/share/myspell --with-external-thes-dir=/usr/share/myspell --with-external-tar=/var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-6.4.4.2/distdir --with-lang= --with-parallelism=4 --with-system-ucpp --with-tls=nss --with-vendor=Gentoo Foundation --with-x --without-fonts --without-myspell-dicts --with-help=html --without-helppack-integration --with-system-gpgmepp --without-system-sane --without-system-qrcodegen --disable-sdremote-bluetooth --disable-coinmp --enable-cups --disable-dbus --disable-debug --disable-evolution2 --disable-firebird-sdbc --disable-gstreamer-1-0 --enable-gtk3 --disable-kf5 --disable-qt5 --disable-ldap --disable-odk --disable-pdfimport --disable-postgresql-sdbc --without-lxml --without-system-coinmp --without-gdrive-client-id --without-gdrive-client-secret --without-java --without-doxygen --enable-dconf --enable-gio --disable-ext-nlpsolver --disable-scripting-beanshell --disable-scripting-javascript --disable-ext-wiki-publisher [...] checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.18 gtk+-unix-print-3.0 gmodule-no-export-2.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.38 cairo... yes configure: VCLplugs to be built: gtk3 checking whether to enable DBUS support... no [...] ------- What that tells me is that it's gtk that needs dbus support NOT libreoffice. If that's, in fact, correct, then the "right" USE change should be: gtk? ( sys-apps/dbus[X] ) To be honest, I have no idea what libreoffice[dbus] entails; so, take the above with the proverbial grain of natrium chloride.
libreoffice-7.0.3.1.ebuild: gtk? ( dbus ) libreoffice-7.0.3.1.ebuild: dbus? ( sys-apps/dbus[X] ) so not really anything to fix here.
OK. Whatever..

Going to reopen this issue since the original issue with missing menubars in FVWM is no longer a problem according to the most recent comment in the original issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/716712#c18 (I hope I am not overstepping my bounds?)
