Well I actually don't even have xfce in my list period actually. Nor do
I have gnome. Trying to find out what actually wants to pull in gnome
menu right now. I am trying to build the cd so that It boots into
console and you could run startx and go into openbox if you wanted to.
That is my goal. Enclosing my package list maybe someone can tell me
what would even be trying to pull in gnome-menu. In the mean time I'll
probably modify the ebuild in my snapshot, hopefully next time I'm
working on this I can avoid doing that though.

Below is my package list. Anyone see something that would be pulling in gnome-menus
that I am missing? I tried to clean out items that would pull in to many
gnome items right from the start considering I just wanted to go with openbox,
and firefox, thunderbird, for now. Must have something though that still needs
gnome-menu or the default use flags are causing it to be brought in.
