It is possible you installed something with a lot of gnome dependencies, then removed it. > I also use java but I think I > use the one from Sun that has the fetch restriction thing on it.

I'd remove a few at a time, the least harmful looking first, and unmerge them. Then run "emerge -utvDN world" to see if something wants to bring them back in. If not, remove some more.

If you prefer to keep more than one installed, use "equery list -d sources" to see which you have. > Gosh, 885 installed. Holy molly. That's a lot. That depends on what you use your system for.
