 You could either uninstall and reinstall:
 
 emerge -Cv gnome-base/gnome-core
 emerge -Duv gnome-base/gnome-core
 
 Or try the --newuse flag, which will for a recompile:
 
 emerge -Duv --newuse gnome-base/gnome-core



Erm, you -are- aware I hope that you are telling the person to install
or rebuild the ancient and deprecated, unsupported and overall crappy
version of gnome called 1.4.x ? 


the gnome package is just a metabuild. If you wish to remove it
completely  you'll have to check the contents of it and remove each and
every individual package... Or for that matter, emerge -C gnome and then
emerge depclean

However, be aware that depclean is dangerous and has been known to be
wrong.

Thanks for everybody's input. I'm going to back my data up and do a complete
re-install. It's probably cleaner in the long run. Richard

I recently ran:

# emerge --synce
# emerge --update --deep --newuse world
# emerge --depclean
# revdep-rebuild

Afterwards whenever I log into Gnome that's fine, but when I log out the
screen goes blank and I have to power cycle the machine. Other symtoms are
Gnome apps (such as evolution) freezing. x11-xorg runs ok on it's own. At
this stage I'm considering reinstalling gnome (if I knew how). Any help
would be really appreciated.

Thanks, Richard

I'm not having any problems and I just rebuilt xorg-x11.  Are you x86 or 
~x86?

I'm running X86 - Thanks for replying. How would I force a Gnoe re-install?
