Re: dupe bug, remerging both control-center-1.4.whatever and
control-center-2.whatever had no impact on this.

As a gnome2 user (with no gnome 1 libraries on my system) I recently emerged
this ebuild and found there were just two small problems.

1. It "depends" on the gnome1 libraries, but does not really need them. In fact,
the --with-gnome flag (and the gnome dependecies) should only be used with
gnome1 and not at all with gnome2. This comes straight from the package
installation instructions.

2. The depend line uses the "xml" use variable to depend on "dev-libs/libxml2".
The xml2 use variable should be used instead.

As a test to make sure that these two changes would make the compile work, I
edited my ebuild and emerged the package. I changed the xml depend to xml2 and
commented out the gnome dependency. The compiliation went off without a hitch.
