Hum, then that rules out my hypothesis. But notice that in my original
post /etc/gtk, the directory, was found to belong to gtk+-1.?, whereas
/etc/gtk-2.0, the directory, was not found to belong to anything. So I
don't think it is as clear as "equery doesn't link directories"...

Though, since you got me thinking: it seems that equery cannot deal
with the trailing slash. 

[11:39 PM]wwong ~ $ equery belongs /etc/gtk-2.0
[ Searching for file(s) /etc/gtk-2.0 in *... ]
x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.8 (/etc/gtk-2.0)
[11:40 PM]wwong ~ $ equery belongs /etc/gtk-2.0/
[ Searching for file(s) /etc/gtk-2.0/ in *... ]
[11:40 PM]wwong ~ $ 

which is why in my original post /etc/gtk-2.0/ cannot be found and
/etc/gtk could be. My mistake there. 

Is this behaviour somehow intended?
