Hmm .. is NetThrottle a corepart of this package?
USE-variables should only be used to decide wether to build optional
support for something. If coreparts requires something it can be thought
of that the entire package does.

If this however decides whether a GUI for NetThrottle will be built
(otherwise just available through console-interface) USE=gtk should be
used.

Why will it depend on gnome? pygnome only depends on GNOME if USE=gnome,
otherwise it just builds pygtk.
