After that, X wouldn't start...  another half-hour of googling and
experimentation...  switch my 'x' alias from using 'xinit' to
'startx', and now X is working again.

... and emerge --depclean removes all of the sphinx packages along
with Babel, jinja, and a few others!

So, I gained back the ground I lost yesterday to bind-tools, but lost
some ground to elogind et alia.
