Hi all,
this should probably asked on the developers list but I am not subscribed to
it. Maybe, enough gentoo developers are on this list as well. ;-)

Who made gdk-pixbuf dependent on gnome-libs?
>From the ebuild:
RDEPEND="media-libs/jpeg
media-libs/tiff
=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*
>=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1
amd64? ( sys-libs/db )
!amd64? ( <sys-libs/db-2 )
>=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1"
# We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into
# gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library )
It pulls gnome-libs and, through gnome-libs I guess orbit, in although it does
not really depend on gnome. If there is an optional dependency on gnome it
should respect my "-gnome" USE flag setting.
Lot's of pure gtk apps depend on gdk-pixbuf but don't depend on gnome or
orbit. I should be able to emerge that library without pulling all the other
stuff in I have no use of.
