Description Thomas Scheffler 2006-09-24 01:35:41 UTC

gtk+ currently requires a full blown X server to be installed. This is due the inheritance of "virtualx" which requires virtual/x11 or x11-base/xorg-server to be installed - that means currently the same.

The gtk+ ebuild allready depends directly to some X libraries which are enough for me to install gtk+ and run gtk+ applications on that remote machine.

For me it looks like as gtk+ does not really depend on xorg-server and so this dependency should be removed. Affected versions are 2.8.19 and 2.8.20-r1.

No, it's not. It'd due to your X use flag.
