No, no, no!

world should only include the packages you actually want, not all
their dependencies.  Dependencies will undoubtedly change, and the
system is likely to become un-updatable because of dependency
conflicts.

Rob needs to manually look at depclean's candidates and either
add them to world or let depclean remove them.

Add metacity et al to /etc/portage/packages.keyword.  The current rev.
of the Portage Manual (on the web) explains that file.
