u* know what you want and can do it, *you* are a human with a brain

Portage cannot do that, it is backed by silicon and has no concept of
meaning. So it has only one real choice - it can do it all or it does
not try.
I'm not surprised Zac never tried implementing partial graph resolution
for the very simple reason that if you try do it, you have no idea what
is going to be built. That is the opposite of what portage must deliver.

No sddm, No X-Server. Very confusing, took me a while to solve.
Masking sddm-0.16.0 and downgrading back to sddm-0.15.0 restores

It doesn't run it or set it as default, it only installs it. To run it
or set it as default is an extra step that you decide yourself when you
want to do it.
depcleaning 9.5 removes the default version, so the obvious thing for
the code to do is set 9.6 as the new default. Maybe the ebuild does it,
maybe it's eselect. Doesn't matter, because something should have
removed those stale symlinks and didn't. This is a reportable bug
Meanwhile fix the symlinks to what they should be using "ln -sfn" and
all will be good in the world.

egally valid for purposes of government with equal status, I
had to let go of English bias and accept that languages get mangled. All
the time.
Except for this new meaning for "revert". can't bring myself to accept
that one, too much like gouging out eyeballs with a blunt spoon.

You might need to tweak your startup order in conf.d
a syslogger normally starts very early in the boot process, before even
networking so that it can log network-y errors.
A remote syslogger needs to start after networking.

ot; and "may", it does not
contain "must" and "will"
Continuing to emote here is going to accomplish exactly didly-squat and
I assure you that it is highly likely nothing will change at all.
Submitting a patch to gentoo-dev may accomplish the end you seek.
Now, can you please get over yourself so we can move on?
We get it, we really do. You don't like the message.

Or, put another way, why do you feel you need to use something else?
There's always dropbox

The ebuild's DEPEND:
video_cards_i915? ( x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel )
video_cards_i965? ( >=x11-base/xorg-server-${PV}[glamor] )
video_cards_intel? ( !video_cards_i965? (
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ) )
So remove i965 from VIDEO_CARDS. "intel" will suffice.
Do you have xorg-server built with USE=glamor ?

yes you are completely correct. But old habits die hard, and for me KDE

I blame it on an old brain where most of the neurons stopped working
ion that mattered was not
being able to repeatedly split panes in half vertically or horizontally;
Dolphin gives you just two panes, side by side. So I started opening
more tabs to get more panes :-)

I thought that particular binary was abandoned *years* ago by mplayer -
it was unmaintained?
Looks like cruft is left in the man page
