What do you mean by temporary? You could execute 'USE=tmpflag emerge
cat/packagename'. But as already pointed out, this is not a good idea for
future use.

I've been playing with flags nad seems to do almost what I want.
To be the firts time I install gentoo, anyway, things didi not seem s

For example, I installed xfce4, following the guide in the handbook,

Hi there guys.
I've been reading the handbook about the FLAGS featrure usage, very
powerfull indeed, but, I just was wondering if there a way to define
some flags for a particular aplication and not in general.
Lets take a real case, mplayer, I'd like to revome some stuff I do not
use/like, for

Check the various portage man pages:

2. This is a very bad suggestion, as portage does not record the
settings used. With the next upgrade of mplayer, especially if it's a
deep world update, mplayer will be remerged with standard USE flags,
