USE Flags only work on _optional_ dependencies. GTK+ needs X so it doesn't
matter if you have -X in your USE flag GTK+ still needs X even if you don't
want X. So if you want GTK+ you _have_ to install X.
I think the "more make.defaults files" solution is the best. It sucks to first
have to see through the make.defaults, copy everything and put a - in front
of nearly every word just to get a server up and running without X :)
