I've put xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager -udisk into /etc/portage/package.use. Ran emerge -avuND @world, which only reinstalled the xfce power mananger with udisks disabled. emerge --depclean suggested removing the apps listed below, which happened to be all interdependent: sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools-0.3.2-r1 sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109 sys-fs/udisks-1.0.5-r1 sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.29 sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.37
equery d sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools * These packages depend on sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools: sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109 (thin ? >=sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools-0.3.0) $ equery d sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus * These packages depend on sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus: sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.37 (>=sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.24) $ equery d sys-apps/sg3_utils * These packages depend on sys-apps/sg3_utils: sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.29 (>=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.24) sys-fs/udisks-1.0.5-r1 (>=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.27.20090411) So I had portage remove those. The Linux from Scratch page for xfce4-power-manger 1.2.0, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/xfce/xfce4-power-manager.html, lists udisks as an optional dependency. Thanks very much for your help.
