You read it correctly. I have always had -gnome in my USE flags. Well, except that one time I checked out gnome but didn't like it. That was YEARS ago too. Anyway, This is my USE flags right now: USE="-a52 acl acpi alsa amd arts artswrappersuid automount -bluetooth -branding bzip2 cddb cdr chroot crypt curl dbus -doc -dts dvd dvdr dvdread -eds esd exif fdftk -fftw -firefox -gcj gif gimp gkrellm -gnome gphoto2 gtk hal hbci htmlhandbook ipv6 -jabber -jingle java javascript jbig jpeg jpeg2k justify kde kdeprefix libwww logrotate loop-aes mmx mng mplayer mp3 -musepack -mysql -nls nsplugin ofx offensive opengl -oss -otr parport pdf ppds qt3 qt3support qt4 realmedia seamonkey sqlite sse syslog tcl -theora tiff tk truetype usb -v4l webkit win32codecs wma wmf wmp X xml yahoo -xulrunner zeroconf 3dnow " I just added -eds and this is what I get: r...@smoker / # emerge -uvDNa world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=net-libs/libsoup-2.25.1:2.4[gnome]". !!!

I'm not sure but I !THINK! Mozilla started the pulling in some gnome stuff and I think Seamonkey does too. I'm not sure if it still does or not tho. I updated a week ago and ran --depclean to get rid of anything not needed so I assume everything on here is needed by something else. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
