In preparation for cleaning my world file, I ran emerge -p --depclean
world.  It listed these packages to be removed:

 app-crypt/gpgme
 app-crypt/opencdk
 app-text/rman
 dev-libs/libtasn1
 dev-libs/lzo
 dev-python/pyxml
 gnome-base/gail
 net-libs/gnutls
 net-libs/libsoup
 perl-core/Storable
 perl-core/Test-Simple
 sys-devel/bc
 virtual/x11
 x11-apps/sessreg
 x11-apps/ttmkfdir
 x11-apps/xcursorgen
 x11-apps/xdm
 x11-apps/xdriinfo
 x11-base/opengl-update
 x11-libs/libFS
 x11-libs/libXTrap
 x11-libs/libXevie
 x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil
 x11-libs/libXprintUtil
 x11-libs/libXvMC
 x11-libs/liboldX
 x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors
 x11-themes/gnome-themes
 x11-themes/gtk-engines
 x11-themes/xcursor-themes

Obviously many, if not most of them are needed.  Remove virtual/x11??????

I noticed that many of them are dependencies of virtual/x11 so I added
that to my world file, re-ran the --depclean and this time got only
about half the recommendations.  Was adding virtual/x11 to my world file
the proper thing to do?  Wonder why it wasn't there in the first place?
