Sure, which is why I put in that caveat :)
Yes, I understood what you meant. I was just saying that I don't have most dependencies installed.

I do have elogind because sddm requires it (have been pondering if I
should switch), but I don't have udisks or polkit, so those can at
least be controlled with some USE variables.
That's curious. I just tried emerge -p evince with all USE variables unset and it refuses to comply. Some dependencies suffer from "unmet requirements". Never mind. evince was made for Gnome users, which I'm not. I'll wait to see what gives re mcomix... (For viewing files for which a thumbnails-based index is not a must I'll just stick with zathura.)
