hi-

I just emerged transcode and planned on emerging dvd::rip.  However, I noticed
that dvd::rip was going to emerge gnome-libs.  Now, I've run transcode/dvd::rip
on another system without _any_ gnome or kde stuff (I use enlightenment) but
_with_ GDK-Pixbuf installed.

So, I did a `emerge inject gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.2` and continued emerging
transcode and dvd::rip.  Sure enough, everything in dvd::rip (that I need)
worked just fine without gnome-libs installed.

This prolly doesn't bother most people, but I like to keep a lean system.  Btw,
I've got '-gnome' in my USE variable.  I dunno why GDK-Pixbuf would require
gnome-libs, although I do see how that could be (wrongly?) assumed.

I am just a lowly user, so I could be missing something obvious.

from gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0.ebuildgdk-pixbuf-0.22.0.ebuild:

    >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1"
# We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into
# gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library )

I argued the same thing a year ago -- it turns out that those who want lean systems will have to just do what you did :/
