-The \- represents lack of \fBSLOT\fR information about Xfree. This will occur

-The \-gtk reflects the status of \fBUSE\fR variables when emerging distcc.
-Here we see that distcc can use the \fBUSE\fR variable gtk, but that your
-current settings have gtk disabled. This means optional support for gtk will
-not be enabled in distcc when you emerge it. An asterisk shows that the
-\fBUSE\fR flags have changed since the package was last installed. In this
-case, ipv6 is enabled but was previously disabled. A \fBUSE\fR flag in
-pparenthesis, like (\-selinux), is always disabled and shows that the flag is
-not available for the current system profile.

+Here we see that the make.conf variable \fBUSE\fR affects how this package is
+built. In this example, ipv6 optional support is enabled and both gtk and qt
+support are disabled. The asterisk following ipv6 indicates that ipv6 support
+was disabled the last time this packages was installed. The percent sign
+following qt indicates that the qt option has been added to the package since
+it was last installed.
