Sure. Qt has optional support for xkb, tablet, fontconfig, xrender, xrandr, |
| 5 |
xcursor, xinerama (already a use flag), xshape, and xsm. |

I'd really hate to add 8 more use flags for those things. I find it fairly |
| 8 |
hard to believe that a user would want to, for example, configre xrender and |
| 9 |
xcursor but not xrandr. |

My *thought* here is why not let the Qt ebuild rely on the base packages of X, |
| 12 |
and if these other packages are also installed ahead of time, then configure |
| 13 |
support for them as well, but don't make them use flag deps. |

Something like: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
if xcursor is installed |
| 18 |
turn on xcursor support |
| 19 |
DEPEND+=xcursor |
| 20 |

I'm sure someone will cast me as a heretic, but I think this is much more |
| 23 |
elegant than 8 more use flags. |
