How does that work for packages eg. libcanberra where USE="gtk3" is required |
| 17 |
to be enabled for eg. GNOME 3.x and other modern GTK+-3.x applications, |
| 18 |
but at the same time user is running Xfce which needs it's older |
| 19 |
GTK+-2.x based library? |
| 20 |
Then setting USE="gtk2 gtk3" to get the best preferred toolkit breaks |
| 21 |
the default |
| 22 |
USE flags of getting Xfce emerged. |
| 23 |
And the plain 'desktop' is supposed to guarantee out-of-box installation |
| 24 |
of Xfce, while |
| 25 |
not dimishing features from other other applications that might use the |
| 26 |
newer libcanberra |
| 27 |
library. |

Seriously, the GNOME guideline works, none of the newly suggested ways |
| 30 |
work. No suprise there, |
| 31 |
since it was vetter for months when it was in fact a topic, and we are |
| 32 |
way past that. |
| 33 |
The Gentoo Xfce team gives full support for the estabilished GNOME |
| 34 |
guideline for the GTK+ |
| 35 |
migration. |
