Description kde123 2002-06-11 20:50:49 UTC

Sylpheed ebuilds since 0.7.7 (at least) do not enable gdk-pixbuf or imlib unless
USE="gnone" is set.  I have gdk-pixbuf, but I do not have USE="gnome", so
sylpheed gets built without imaging support.  I hardcoded --enable=gdg-pixbuf in
an ebuild, and now things are back to normal.

Here's the thing, gdk is actually closer tied to GTK than GNOME.  The problem is
that many GNOME apps take for granted that gdk is a GNOME thing.  We tried to
implement an ebuild for gdk-pixbuf which takes advantage of the gnome USE flag,
but that caused more problems than it solved.  So for now, what you did was the
best way to do it.

The good news, however, is that GTK2 will come with gdk, and this will all go
away once gtk apps start getting ported to gtk2..
