Something that WOULD be worthy of a new USE flag or dependency may be the optional libstartup-notification dependency. This has been talked about in Bug 53428. The problem with NOT making startup-notification a dependency in gaim's ebuild is that if you DO happen to have startup-notification on your system, then gaim will build with support for it. But then if you do a emerge --depclean, and nothing else depends on startup-notification, you'll think it's safe to unmerge startup-notification. However, after you unmerge, you'll find that you can't start gaim anymore because it's missing libstartup-notification, and you'll have to recompile gaim. This happened to me after I switched to split KDE ebuilds. So startup-notification should either be optional with a USE flag, or a required dependency. Anyway, the xscreensaver thing is more important. Hm I'm pretty dumb. You are right, this has nothing to do with the xscreensaver package itself. The startup-notification thing is something I've been meaning to just make a full-time RDEPEND. Mainly because the devs who build the GRP packages use startup-notification, and so bad things happen when you'd install those GRP packages on a machine without it. I'll commit both of these changes to -r2 today. Alright this is set in -r2. Good to go, thanks. I'm still having this problem. X usage doesn't show up. Gaim usage and none are the only options. I've re-emerged gaim-1.2.1 and startup-notification. I've posted in the forums with no luck as well. Any help would be appreciated. OK, I've found your post on the forums and am replying to you there. Created attachment 56721 [details]

Here is my emerge --info and emerge gaim output
OK, I meant to move this discussion to the forums, so once again, I am replying there... |
