That's not what use.desc says gtk does. You just illustrated how confusing |
| 9 |
the gtk/gtk2 use flag situation has been. |

The gtk use flag doesn't specify a version. It just says that the package |
| 12 |
should build against *a* version of gtk+. The gtk2 flag was a way to |
| 13 |
prefer the gtk2 interface over the gtk1 interface if a package supported |
| 14 |
both. |

Thankfully, we've mostly moved past the gtk/gtk2 use flag mess now. |

Let's try not to make it quite so hard for people with the qt toolkit. |
