The xchat ebuild doesn't not check for the gtk2 use flag. So if one has gtk1 disabled (and not installed) through the "-gtk" use flag, the xchat gtk frontend will not be compiled, even though you have set the "gtk2" use flag and gtk2 installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: USE="gtk2 -gtk" emerge xchat-2.0.1 Actual Results: No gtk interface for xchat was built - just the text only version. Expected Results: Built the gtk2 frontend - which xchat supports.
