After some sleep & investigation, I found the problem, which is with Gvim.
The  gtk+ gtk+2  USE flags have been dropped for Gvim-9 ,
which now defaults to the Motif GUI, which won't start from CLI :
"E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time".
This cb avoided by using  USE="-motif" , which defaults to using Gtk:3 ,
& Gvim starts from CLI as it should.

Gentoo Bug 831250 covers removing the  gtk  USE flags.
I have added a comment as above & we'll see what the devs decide to do.
