Actually, gnomve-vfs-1.0.5-r4 isn't even in the portage tree anymore.
If there are any dependencies on it by active, stable ebuilds that
aren't solved by gnome-vfs-2.20.1-r1 then that's truly a bug and should
be reported.  As it is, I still get a warning about gnome-vfs being
unable to find libcdda.so, which is a spurious message since libcdda.so
seems to have been a _part_ of gnome-vfs (the older version).  This
ought to be fixed, but it's more of an annoyance bug since totem seems
to work as expected otherwise.  

When in doubt on these things, I generally winnow down the slotted
components and re-emerge everything involved, and run revdep-rebuild
enough to satisfy me that there aren't any _obvious_ breakages.

Yep!
