Your decision to remove the gtk2 use flag takes away control from people |
| 8 |
who were using it correctly (by what the description said). I'm not |
| 9 |
against having gtk2 on my systems, but I prefer gtk1 interfaces, |
| 10 |
primarily as they are a lot more lighter on memory and disk. |

I use USE='gtk -gtk2', and putting gtk2 in my local package.mask is not |
| 13 |
acceptable, because I do use applications with interfaces in gtk2 only |
| 14 |
sometimes. |

If your system has a way that I can get what I want, then that's fine, |
| 17 |
but it just doesn't seem to be included in your email. |
