15 I'd love to get this fixed. The dependencies don't look so bad to me.
16 Aren't gnome-python and gst-python the only gnome depedencies:
17
18 pygtk
19 python
20 pysqlite
21 gnome-python
22 gtkmozembed-python
23 xorg-server
24 dbus-python
25 xulrunner
26 pyrex
27 imagemagick
28 xine-lib
29 rb_libtorrent
30 gst-python
31
32 Here's a link to the ebuild:
