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.
