You read it correctly.  I have always had -gnome in my USE flags.  Well,
except that one time I checked out gnome but didn't like it.  That was
YEARS ago too.  Anyway, This is my USE flags right now:

USE="-a52 acl acpi alsa amd arts artswrappersuid automount -bluetooth
-branding bzip2 cddb cdr chroot crypt curl dbus -doc -dts dvd dvdr
dvdread -eds esd exif fdftk -fftw -firefox  -gcj gif gimp gkrellm -gnome
gphoto2 gtk hal hbci htmlhandbook ipv6 -jabber -jingle java javascript
jbig jpeg jpeg2k justify kde kdeprefix libwww logrotate loop-aes mmx mng
mplayer mp3 -musepack -mysql -nls nsplugin ofx offensive opengl -oss
-otr parport pdf ppds qt3  qt3support qt4 realmedia seamonkey sqlite sse
syslog tcl -theora tiff tk truetype usb -v4l webkit win32codecs wma wmf
wmp X xml yahoo -xulrunner zeroconf 3dnow "

I just added -eds and this is what I get:

root@smoker / # emerge -uvDNa world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=net-libs/libsoup-2.25.1:2.4[gnome]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- net-libs/libsoup-2.26.3-r3 (Change USE: +gnome)
(dependency required by "dev-libs/libgweather-2.26.2.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.26.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "app-office/openoffice-3.1.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

root@smoker / #

It looks about the same.  I'm not sure but I !THINK! Mozilla started the
pulling in some gnome stuff and I think Seamonkey does too.  I'm not
sure if it still does or not tho.  I updated a week ago and ran
--depclean to get rid of anything not needed so I assume everything on
here is needed by something else.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Thanks.
