It is separate from either, and should probably have its own group, if necessary. When I think of KDE stuff, I don't think of X + KDE, I think of KDE and arts and Qt. I think of X as a separate beast entirely. Then again, I don't think that flags should be specified in more than one group. If it doesn't fit into a group, then don't group it. If it fits into multiple groups, then either pick one and stick with it, or don't group it. Groups are supposed to simplify using large numbers of USE flags, it isn't supposed to completely replace them. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
