Well, if you tie xchat to the global gtk USE flag, someone who installs |
| 17 |
xchat may wonder why it isn't working for them when they don't have gtk |
| 18 |
in their USE flags. Has anyone actually taken a look at xchat-text... UGH. |

I for one don't have gtk in my USE flags (I prefer KDE/Qt), but I use |
| 21 |
the gtk interface for XChat. The default interface that most people |
| 22 |
expect when installing xchat is the GTK interface, not text. Maybe a |
| 23 |
better choice would be to have an "xchattextonly" USE flag or something |
| 24 |
similar. |

I can just see the bug reports come flooding in for something so |
| 27 |
silly... :-) Just my 2 cents... |
