[gentoo-dev] unsafe use of gtk-query-immodules

[gentoo-dev] unsafe use of gtk-query-immodules

[Fabio Erculiani]

Like it happened with gtk-pixbuf-query-loaders, gtk-query-immodules is
used in an unsafe way as well.
There are several reasons that could make gtk-query-immodules fail at
runtime (SIG*, missing sonames, etc).

Using it this way is really wrong (and you know why ;-) ):
gtk-query-immodules > "${ROOT}/.../gtk.immodules"

The affected pkgs are:

app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs
app-i18n/atokx2
app-i18n/atokx3
app-i18n/fcitx
app-i18n/gtkimprime
app-i18n/ibus
app-i18n/im-canna
app-i18n/im-freewnn
app-i18n/imhangul
app-i18n/im-ja
app-i18n/scim
app-i18n/scim-bridge
app-i18n/uim
app-i18n/x-unikey
x11-libs/gtk+

and should be fixed.
