  As Peter has noted, you probably updated most of these files manually
without supplying the "-1" (or "--oneshot") option.  I do know that
sys-libs/gpm must be in world if you want a text-console mouse-pointer,
because it's a user-selected install.  I checked on my system.  The
following are on my system, but not in world.

dev-libs/glib
dev-libs/libevent
media-libs/libpng (=media-libs/libpng-1.6.16)

  If you've emerged any package with the "gstreamer" flag, then...

media-libs/gst-plugins-base
media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10
media-libs/gstreamer
media-libs/gstreamer:0.10

...don't belong in world.  If you want to clean up world safely, I
suggest the following...

1) make a backup of /var/lib/portage/world

2) edit /var/lib/portage/world, by removing the following lines...

dev-libs/glib
dev-libs/libevent
media-libs/libpng
media-libs/libpng:1.2
media-libs/libpng:1.5
media-libs/gst-plugins-base
media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10
media-libs/gstreamer
media-libs/gstreamer:0.10

3) run the command "emerge -p --depclean" and post the output back here
before doing anything more.
