Actually, it should be in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc, and it |
| 14 |
affects 4 packages, which I tend to think is enough to warrant it being |
| 15 |
added as a global USE flag. |

3 or 4 packages. |

Well, they aren't "required" for Gnome to work, which is probably why |
| 28 |
they are enabled by USE flags. Again, I'm not a Gnome developer, so I |
| 29 |
am sure someone from the Gnome team would be able to tell you more |
| 30 |
accurately. |
