...but not this. Doing so now produces something that is not obvious to me 
how to respond to:

<begin screen output>
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy 
">=media-libs/libcanberra-0.4[gtk]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/libcanberra-0.26 (Change USE: +gtk)
(dependency required by "x11-misc/notification-daemon-0.5.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "virtual/notification-daemon-0[gnome]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-video/vlc-1.1.9[libnotify]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.3.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-libs/phonon-4.5.0[vlc]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.6.2-r3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-misc/polkit-kde-kcmodules-0.98_pre20101127" 
[ebuild])
<end screen output>

Is it telling me I have to change my USE from -gtk to +gtk, or can emerging 
one of those 8 packages listed satisfy the dep? IOW, it's unclear to me what 
"One of the following packages" actually refers to.

>Do you have your video card specified in make.conf?

> VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"

I hadn't seen anything about VIDEO_CARDS until your response. Most of my 
systems are mga, intel or radeon, but this particular one is NV. Finding the 
answer to which of three possibles are the correct response led me to 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml which I hadn't seen before. Now 
that I have I think I need to recompile due to misconfiguring of Graphics 
support.
