Just a final comment to say that after 3 days of messing around I finally managed to get this machine working again. I did nothing 'special' that I know of. I just kept uninstalling things, like everything with the name gnome in, etc., and rerunning eix-sync, revdep-rebuild loops where I skipped things that didn't work the first time, until finally it all seemed to come together. Magic. This was far and away the worst update cycle I've gone through on Gentoo. I last did this machine maybe 5 months ago. Didn't think this was all that long but it sure was tough. That said, and yes I was frustrated, I still prefer Gentoo to the FC2/FC3/FC4/FC5 treadmill I used to be on. Just wish it was easier. Thanks to everyone who answered my pleas!
