Hi,
libglade >= 1.99 should depend on dev-python/PyXML, otherwise compilation fails
with "libglade-convert not found".

libglade-convert is actually built when python with expat support is found, 

ths means you have to "emerge expat python"  to get this. 

how does dev-python/PyXML handle this?

I tried to emerge gnome 2.0.0 beta 5 and libglade failed, I checked the garnome
site (gnome 2.0 build system) and it mentioned that you need Python XML support
installed prior to building libglade otherwise it would fail with cannot execute
libglade-convert. So I emerged PyXML and then went back to emerging gnome, and
it worked.
