gimp doesn't require the gtk use flag globally. The only thing it needs to be
compiled with the gtk use flag is app-text/poppler-bindings. The only
packages that I have compiled with gtk are app-text/poppler-bindings,
app-editors/gvim and net-analyzer/wireshark.

An easier approach here might be to just edit /var/lib/portage/world manually
and remove the gnome etc. apps that you are no longer interested in and let
emerge --depclean -va do it's job...

Add "-eds" to your use flags. openoffice doesn't wan't a single gnome app on
my computer so if it still wants some it because of some use flag...
