I don't mean to start an argument, but it does "want" them, as I said, |
| 8 |
even if they are not stated deps in the ebuild. My USE flags are: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
USE="-* apm bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cdr crypt cups dri foomaticdb |
| 11 |
gcj gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib java javascript jpeg |
| 12 |
kde lcms libwww lm_sensors mime motif mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly |
| 13 |
nsplugin nvidia opengl pcre pdf perl plotutils png pop python |
| 14 |
qt3 readline scanner session slang ssl |
| 15 |
tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb X xml xorg xv zlib" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
ie I drop them all, then define those I deliberately want. |
| 18 |
If Gedit drags in all deps for the Gnome desktop, then my question is: |
| 19 |
whyever would the Gnome desktop want sound pkgs or a CD burner ?? |
| 20 |
and perhaps too: why does Gedit drag in all the Gnome desktop deps ?? |
| 21 |
If the answer is "That's just the way Gnome does things", |
| 22 |
that tends to confirm the correctness of my avoidance of Gnome |
| 23 |
in favor of KDE & (installed, but not used) Xfce (smile). |

Kwrite is included under Kate, which is a separate Gentoo pkg, |
| 29 |
but what I should have refered to is Kedit: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
eix kedit |
| 32 |
* kde-base/kedit |
| 33 |
Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.5 ~3.5.6 |
| 34 |

Description: KDE: very simple text editor |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The simplest editor I know is 'e3', which I sometimes use: |
| 38 |
it's not GUI, but it's very quick & easy (I use the 'Nedit' mode). |
| 39 |
Gvim is my mainstay for most things, of course. |
| 40 |

| 41 |
HTH the OP. |
