Yes, in the core code of fvwm it doesn't appear for any purpose. But there's a Gtk2.pm module which is distributed with fvwm. I have no idea what is it for, but my guess is that you would need gtk2 to use those bindings, or whatever is contained in that perl module. > > # XXX: gtk perl bindings require dev-perl/gtk-perl, worth a dependency? > > Only in terms of FvwmGTK, but I don't think anyone uses it these days. > I'm hoping it will get dropped at some point. FvwmDebug can use GTK, > mind... I agree with you. I would just drop gtk, because anyway most distros are heading into that direction. Gtk+-1.x packages are getting rarer and rarer and most of them are not supported anymore upstream by their respective creators. > > # XXX: netpbm is used by FvwmScript-ScreenDump, worth a dependency? > > Yes, absolutely. Other programs beside FVWM will use this. Yep. I have no doubt about this one. I will either add this as a hard dependency or install it conditionally based on a USE flag. If the later case, if we use USE="netpbm" the the dependency will be added. If we USE="-netpbm", the dependency on netpbm will be removed, and the scripts that rely on it (FvwmScript-ScreenDump only, as far as I know) would be removed from the installation as well (it would not work anyway). Thanks for all the input. It's very valuable. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
