I tried rebuilding gqview and feh with no success. feh complains about |
| 13 |
no imlib support for jpegs so I rebuild imlib, which didn't help. |
| 14 |
Before going to bed I started a full world rebuild. I'll reboot after |
| 15 |
that to ensure I pick up new shared libraries and we'll see what |
| 16 |
happens. This violates the principle of least surprise though. |

I am finding this about gentoo. On FreeBSD I could disable X11 |
| 19 |
support, but it's on by default. I agree with that. On gentoo I have |
| 20 |
to explicitely enable jpg support?? Why the hell would I not want it? |
| 21 |
I find that needlessly difficult. The default should be the common |
| 22 |
case, not the uncommon one. |
