Then run: 'emerge depclean -pv'. Check the packages and unmerge them in smaller groups after which run 'revdep-rebuild' to check for unmerge errors. If you more confident look at gnome dependencies (in the gnome-ebuild). PS:Consider removing (also) the gnome USE-flag from /etc/make.conf but later will have to re-emerge some packages (due to changed USE flag). HTH.Rumen
