(Perhaps different users on the computer use different DEs) It probably won't be a problem in the short term (people can just select one profile and add the missing USE-flags to make.conf). But it /might/ get unwieldy in the future if more USE-flags and USE_EXPAND-ed variables make their way into the DE-specific profiles. Since multiple inheritance is not worth the work, I would suggest each project team maintain some minimal documentation in their doc space about the USE-flags and USE_EXPAND-ed variables enabled in each profile. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
