Hm. I guess it's not hard to imagine equery fails to read USE flags correctly 
and that would make it a bug. But this still doesn't explain gqview, which 
doesn't have neither hard nor USE dependencies on anything I removed.

Obviously I have to do more research, especially since I haven't any data to 
support me. And I thought cleaning out unneeded libs would be a fun thing to 
do in between the exams :) . Meh. Unless someone picks this up, I'll have 
more time in a month or so. I'm definitely not going to file any bugs or some 
such until I know more.

Thank you for your input
Jure
