Answering from computer now. A couple of ideas: 1) Copy one of my world files to your /var/lib/portage/world. Attached at the end. This is for a typical KDE/nvidia desktop machine. Adjust as you see fit. Run emerge -pvDuN @world and adjust the world file to match your machines goals. or... 2) I can't verify Neil's emerge -cp suggestion here as there's nothing emerge wants to depclean but I suspect it would work fine. (Can't remember when Neil last suggested something that didn't!) As an alternative try eix -Ic which produces a list of all packages installed. Look for the ones where the package names are green as they are the packages that should be in your world file. All the gray ones are dependencies. Use Neil's emerge -n to add them in.
