7 If you don't want to disable the cups flag globally, you might
8 choose to disable for gtk+ by default in profiles/base/package.use
9 like this:
10
11 x11-libs/gtk+ -cups
12
13 That can be overridden by user's USE=cups setting in make.conf, so
14 the only effect would be to break the circular dependency by default.
