Thanks for these informations, as a matter of fact I use xfce4 and
don't mind about new version of gnome. Still I forced  gtk+ on latest
stable version and it works now well.
How did you find this dependency out ? the xfce ebuilds doesn't
mention about gtk+

About the texmaker issue, it seems that there is a problem with
qt4.0.1 and qt4.1.0 ... I'm investigating further.

ciao
