Might be nice feature, though. Debian has something like this I think, 'suggested packages' that may be installed additionally if desired. Maybe an 'optional' use flag could do this? But it would habe to be set for every package, not in the DEPEND list in the xorg-x11 ebuild. A DEPEND_IF_NOT_MASKED entry in the ebuild would be nice. Anyway, I do not install xorg-x11 at all, but xorg-server instead. Which means I have to care about optional stuff for myself, like fonts, tools like xdpyinfo and such. But at least I do not have cyrillic fonts on my system :) Wonko
