19 Its not what packages use it - but what packages are causing it to be
20 needed that I want:

22 >From the new sabayon ebuild stabilized for gnome 2.28 it seems to
23 require xorg-server to be built with kdrive. So even though this system

26 COMMON_DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4
27 >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.0
28 >=dev-python/pygtk-2.5.3
29 >=dev-python/pygobject-2.15
30 x11-libs/pango
31 dev-python/python-ldap
32 x11-base/xorg-server[kdrive]"
33
34
35 It appears its set by autounmask for gnome-2.28.2 on my other systems so
36 guess its a requirement these days ... guess I'll unmask the newer gnome
37 here as well - seems to work ok.
