This is a nice example for a default enabled USE flag, where i see no strong reason to enable it. |

Now i dont know that package nor do i know how many users actually use that feature. If the majority |
| 26 |
uses that feature, it seems ok to me to enable it by default (either by a specific xfce profile or |
| 27 |
default enabled USE flag). If its on the other hand a minority, which just complains louder, i would |
| 28 |
still request the useflag to stay offline by default. |

Together with this, i am glad to see the move of KDE/GNOME specific USE flags from normal desktop |
| 31 |
profile to KDE/GNOME subprofiles. In most cases, users will either use one of those or none of them. |
| 32 |
With this change, it will give a better situation for the majority of our users. And for those, who |
| 33 |
want to use both profiles, they can have a look at portage manpage, as betelgeuse suggested. |
