I might be being stupid, but having suitably unmasked what was suggested
I get:
| ~ # emerge -puv --newuse gnome
|
| These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Normally, I would just unmask pmount, but the comment doesn't exactly
fill me with confidence as regards the stability of pmount (and whereas
I am happy for gnome to crash in a heap, I tend to be a little more
cautious around things that work at lower levels in the system)...
Should I just go ahead and unmask, or what if I want to test out gnome
2.12?
