Its not what packages use it - but what packages are causing it to be
needed that I want:
>From the new sabayon ebuild stabilized for gnome 2.28 it seems to
require xorg-server to be built with kdrive. So even though this system
is using stable gnome, the newer sabayon now requires it ...
COMMON_DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4
>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.0
>=dev-python/pygtk-2.5.3
>=dev-python/pygobject-2.15
x11-libs/pango
dev-python/python-ldap
x11-base/xorg-server[kdrive]"
It appears its set by autounmask for gnome-2.28.2 on my other systems so
guess its a requirement these days ... guess I'll unmask the newer gnome
here as well - seems to work ok.
