Note how there is "gconf" in
"media-plugins/gst-plugins-gconf-0.10.31:0.10"; thus, you don't want
this so I suggest you to add "gnome-base/gconf" and
"media-plugins/gst-plugins-gconf" to package.mask. By doing so, you
will be warned when something depends on it in the future.

In this case you will find that net-im/pidgin[gstreamer] depends on it;
thus, you will want to disable that USE flag on net-im/pidgin.
