I found that the latest trunk of PuTTY works with GTK2 (Not with GTK1 which is a bit aged). I compiled from source here and it works. The information how to do this is here: http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/open-source-apps/putty-gtk2 Please make an ebuild if possible for the gtk2 version of PuTTY. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
We shouldn't need a new package (hence the Summary change) - maybe just a new USE flag or switch from GTK+-1 version GTK+-2 completely.

I've bumped it.
The new ebuild (based on a snapshot from 31 Jan 2010[1]) supports x11-libs/gtk+:2 (but not version 1, which should and will go away in time) and should turn up on your local mirror shortly. Thanks for reporting! I dropped the USE=gtk altogether since it's my perception that it's not really upstream's idea to make the main utility itself optional, which is visible in the build system as well - there is no configure option that turns GTK+ support off in the first place. [1] Let's hope there will be a newer release some time soon after this snapshot!
This is great, Jean! Will try the new ebuild as soon as possible. I hope it works flawlessly. Thank you so much :)
