Looking in the current desktop profile, it shows this: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
USE="a52 aac acpi alsa branding cairo cdr dbus dts dvd dvdr eds emboss |
| 38 |
encode evo fam firefox flac gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal jpeg kde |
| 39 |
ldap libnotify mad mikmod mng mp3 mp4 mpeg ogg opengl pdf png ppds |

| 41 |
win32codecs unicode usb X x264 xml xulrunner xv xvid" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So support for things like gnome, gtk, kde and qt4 are there by |
| 44 |
default. I guess you could take the above list, put a - in front of |
| 45 |
the ones you don't think you want and put it in make.conf and see what |
| 46 |
happens. :) |
