GTK does not neccesarilly need X, though it is in the only possible |
| 9 |
combinations I can think of for Gentoo. GTK has the ability to use at least |
| 10 |
Win32 and Qt for rendering in addition to X. |
| 11 |
Also, if a program does something based on USE=X, then it is not doing |
| 12 |
something for GNOME. Just because someone uses GNOME or KDE does not mean |
| 13 |
they also use X. |

Is this really supported? I wouldn't think so, since it would clear things |
| 25 |
such as the arch USE flags. |
