Not really. We can't go around and babysit, and the overhead is too
great IMO. We fend off the most common ones, but ignore the rest.

"edit the build" is the only way. Adding the patch in ${FILESDIR} and
adding a patch< ${FILESDIR}/kill-the-popups.diff in src_unpack should
work.
i'd recommend doing a local overlay of said ebuild first (check
etc/make.conf ) since it will be wiped in the next sync if you don't.

"ptah" Your statement wasn't particularly clear wether you performed
said testing in LFS or Gentoo. now you've clarified, but as you state
you didn't check functionality, and certainly didn't check
five-dependencies down for "proper functionality" . (libxml2 +
scrollkeeper for example ;)
