Description S. Gilles 2014-12-30 04:04:57 UTC

A comment in games-emulation/fceux/fceux-2.1.5.ebuild states that zenity is "almost" optional.  Nowadays, zenity is completely unneeded.

 - A simple grep through the source of fceux shows that the string "zenity" is only used in three places.  One is in the changelog, and the other two are in a commented block of code
 - The comment in the ebuild indicates that zenity used to be required for file dialogs.  It appears this is no longer the case, as I am able to use the file dialogs without zenity installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge games-emulation/fceux
Actual Results:  
gnome-extra/zenity is installed, if it is not already

Expected Results:  
gnome-extra/zenity should not be in RDEPEND.

I tested everything I could find that led to a dialog appearing, and all worked the same with zenity installed as without.
