True, but it doesn't matter.  My firefox is not linked to any gnome
libraries, therefor it is entirely possible to build firefox without
gnome.

Again:

# for x in `find /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ -type f` ; do
test -x $x && ldd $x
done | grep gnome | wc -l
0
# for x in `find /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ -type f` ; do
test -x $x && ldd $x
done | grep gtk | wc -l
17

This is because the ebuild inherits mozconfig-2.eclass, and the gnome
flag checking is done there.  (portage/eclass/mozconfig-2.eclass).
