Ggv should depend upon bonobo which it doesn't. Ggv therefor fails to build without having bonobo installed.
it optionally compiles with bonobo support if it's in your use flags
It looks like bonobo is a build dependency for ggv, but not a runtime dependency if you have -bonobo in use.
Look again .... the actual depend is : RDEPEND=">=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.4 bonobo? ( >=gnome-base/bonobo-1.0.19-r1 )" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )" The important part, is the 'DEPEND="${RDEPEND}' part. DEPEND thus *DO* have bonobo in its use. Im guessing its rather a case (had a few up to date) that some where it started to DEPEND on bonobo to be able to build in general. I think we should add bonobo as a static DEPEND, and not via a USE flag, ie: RDEPEND=">=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.4 >=gnome-base/bonobo-1.0.19-r1" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )" This is what the use (Anders Rune Jensen) meant at the end of the day, I think.

ggv-1.1.94 fixes it for me.
