Description J.O. Aho 2005-08-12 17:22:37 UTC
The qtk-qt theme egine ebuild has changed name from x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine to
a more unlogical name x11-themes/gtk-engine-qt.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




IMHO the new name for the ebuild is quite bad, as it's not anymore related to
the  programs name that you are emergin, the old one was a lot better and
logical (gtk-qt-engine). It would be like reneaming www-client/mozilla to
www-client/webbrowser.

Shall we rename all of those, because you dislike the naming scheme? I guess not. 

Please, don't file pointless bugs. Thanks.
