Sometimes the former is the best way to achieve the latter (smile). I have Thunar installed with USE='-udev', but I also have Gvfs installed & 'emerge -cpv gvfs' tells me it's needed for Thunar. My conclusion is that this dependency is absolute & that's confirmed by looking at the ebuild itself, which says GVFS_DEPEND=">=gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1" .
