so is +gtk required in the USE variable to get the GUI client?I actually don't have any global use variables set.. I set them to what I want when I emerge something. I always emerge -pv <program> instead of just emerging it.
and what about gkrellm. i have the 2.1.10 version installed, but a 'emerge -pv gkrellm' shows '[ebuild R ] app-admin/gkrellm-2.1.10 -gtk -gtk2 +nls'. do i need to change USE to '+gtk +gnome +kde +qt' to be able to really use packages in one environment that were written for the other? i guess that wouldn't be such a big deal, but that really makes me wonder about why there's a USE variable to begin with...
so, do i need to change '-gtk -gnome +kde +qt' to '+gtk +gnome +kde +qt' to get this stuff to work correctly.

emerge -pv xchat will give you some hints as to the problem.i emerged a couple of apps that i really liked from when i was using redhat, but now i can't find them.
the only 'xchat' anything that i can find is xchat-text-2. this is supposed to be a GUI IRC client, but xchat-text-2 is some weird perl script. and after i installed gkrellm, the only gkrellm i find is gkrellmd which, as the filename would emply, is a daemon of some sort.
did i do something wrong? where are programs that i installed?
Specifically you don't have "gtk" as a use variable.

You have to remember that if you were installing xchat from source manually then you'd see the "--disable-gtk" or the "--enable-gtk" options when you did a configure --help. There aren't many programs that are like this.. only other I can think of is bittorrent..
So just the "gtk" use flag is all you have to worry about in this case.
