Well, use.defaults has nothing to do with it. It was the addition to |
| 24 |
default-linux/$arch/make.defaults that most likely caused this. |
| 25 |
There is a reason for it, too. Our default configuration must work |
| 26 |
properly. Well, Gnome was not working properly due to the missing |
| 27 |
eds and gstreamer USE flags. I added these flags at the request of |
| 28 |
the Gnome team, as they had thought that adding them to use.defaults |
| 29 |
accomplished the job, when it did not. |

Because gnome is enabled by default, and eds/gstreamer are really |
| 36 |
needed for a properly working default Gnome configuration. |

I probably should have sent a note to -dev about this change when I |
| 42 |
did it, but I was in a rush of bug-fixes for 2005.1, so I apologize. |
