Yes, all old gnome and gnome-dependant things are going away as they
are unmaintained.

equery depends is (nearly) useless.

This hasn't seen an update in 5 years.  Are you actually using this?
If so, what does "ldd `which gtkdiff`" report?  It might be a mistake
and might actually depend on gtk2.  But given it's age, I sort of
doubt this.  If it does depend on gtk1, well, there are several other
graphical diff utilities in portage.  "emerge --searchdesc" or "eix
-S" are your friends here.

Old gnome stuff...do you actually use these, and if so, why haven't
you upgraded to the current version of gnome?

Just recompile this without the gnome USE flag.  From
/usr/portage/app-misc/gfontview/ChangeLog:

  17 Nov 2006; Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@gentoo.org>
  gfontview-0.5.0-r6.ebuild:
  Dropping gnome useflag for gnome-1.x removal

>         gnome-extra/guppi-0.40.3-r3

Lots of other plotting packages in portage.

Do you actually use these, or are they installed as some other
dependancy?  Anyway, gtk2-perl and gtk2-gladexml exist for gtk2
applications.

>         dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.11-r1

This can just be remerged as well:

  17 Nov 2006; Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@gentoo.org> unixODBC-2.2.6.ebuild,
  unixODBC-2.2.6-r1.ebuild, unixODBC-2.2.8.ebuild, unixODBC-2.2.11.ebuild,
  unixODBC-2.2.11-r1.ebuild:
  Dropping gnome useflag for gnome-1.x removal

Same response as gtkdiff.  Do you actually use them?  If not, why do you care?
