Sorry for the offtopic of this, but what would a user set as the 
useflags to have GTK-2 used by default, and GTK-1 for apps that only 
support it? (but not build GTK-2-capable apps with GTK-1)

Just wondering, because I know that gmplayer is from the mplayer 
package's gtk flag.. its gtk-1 so its not the optimal, but since i don't 
know of a gtk2 version (i do have kmplayer tho.. so its sorta a moot 
point for me.. i think its time i clean my install..)

Anyways, I agree that some of the defaults are a bit more liberal then i 
would perfer, but hey, i can change anything i want (thats the power of 
gentoo)

Thanks,
Andrew
