The X use flag doesn't seem to make any difference. |

as for what i'm trying to do, i was installing the latest version of |
| 25 |
the orca screenreader from source, as I wanted a more up-to-date |
| 26 |
version than that provided by portage. The portage version doesn't |
| 27 |
depend on wnck but all more recent versions do. If there's no |
| 28 |
solution then I presume when the next version gets added to portage |
| 29 |
it'll require all the dependencies which will be rather inconvenient. |

Hope this clarrifies the situation |
