If you understand headless you will understand the rest. |

You do not have to have GTK USE flag or all of X, but you will be pulling in X |
| 17 |
libraries likely not present on the system to begin with. You may also |
| 18 |
experience various abnormal issues as this is not how Java is normally. |

Building it with different USE flags is pretty different than installing a pre- |
| 20 |
built -bin with different USE flags. |

On a headless server, a merge of icetea pulls in 48 packages, regardless if |
| 23 |
headless-awt USE is set or not. Just as an example. Same 48 packages to build, |
| 24 |
45 being new. |

You can see -cups, but guess what, it is required and comes in regardless if |
| 45 |
USE flag is set or not. You will have to enable cups USE flag for other stuff. |
