I asked in gaim for a way to disable gaim dropshadows, they say that the following line must be edited: gtkblist.c:64 I'm not about to go mucking in gaim sourcecode even to edit one line, especially each time I need to emerge an update.. a use flag for this would be MOST useful Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gaim 2. 3. Actual Results: gaim emerges with dropshadows enabled Expected Results: emerged without dropshadows enabled (assuming the associated use flag was enabled)
Adding more local USE flags for unsupported options in a Bad Thing. Made even worse when it is for an option that no one else has seen necessary. I spoke with the gaim devs about this and they indicated that you were in #gaim being rather bellicose and making demands because this affects your opengl wallpaper. I feel safe categorizing this as a fringe case and I feel comfortable not mucking up the package with patches that would only need to be included in the ebuild package forever. Feel free to propose this with the BreakMyGentoo folks.
