Hi,

If it helps, it looks like dev-java/icedtea with USE=-X only requires
X to build, not to run.  So after installation, the X packages can be
removed by "emerge --ask --depclean --with-bdeps=n packages...".  Or
leave off "packages..." to see all installed packages that are not
needed for world packages to run (which should include X).

Of course you'll have to reinstall them if you want to rebuild icedtea...

Cheers,
Bryan
