Today, I updated to the latest stable Vim 9.0.0099 + GVim same
& it refused to open.  No problem back with 8.2.4586.

Has anyone else encountered this ?  Does anyone have a suggestion ?

No *vim here, but: what does happen exactly? That is, what do you mean
with "refused to open"? Is there any error message? (If it hasn't been
started from a terminal or terminal emulator, try that way and see if
there is any relevant output.)

After some sleep & investigation, I found the problem, which is with Gvim.
The  gtk+ gtk+2  USE flags have been dropped for Gvim-9 ,
which now defaults to the Motif GUI, which won't start from CLI :
"E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time".
This cb avoided by using  USE="-motif" , which defaults to using Gtk:3 ,
& Gvim starts from CLI as it should.

Gentoo Bug 831250 covers removing the  gtk  USE flags.
I have added a comment as above & we'll see what the devs decide to do.
