Subject: [gentoo-dev] About how to handle wxGTK based packages with gnome profiles

1 Currently gnome profiles enable automatically "gtk" USE flag and, then,
2 most gtk based GUIs are installed by default on systems using that
3 profile. A special situation occurs when the package is based in wxGTK
4 as explained in:
5 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411053

7 Currently, packages like mkvtoolnix simply builds without no gui at all
8 when using gnome profile because its gui is build with "wxwidgets" USE
9 flag. At first, I suggested to move from wxwidgets to "gtk" USE flag for
10 that package because that wxwidgets based gui is the only gtk gui
11 offered by that package. The problem is that their maintainers disagree
12 with that approach as explained in referred bug report.
13
14 Other option would be to enable "wxwidgets" by default for that
15 profiles.

17 What do you think?
