needs to be fixed.  Otherwise, I'm stumped.

Managed to sort it, seems that the live glib ebuild dropped support for
G_CONST_RETURN. Downgrading to glib-2.28.8 sorted it but broke some other
packages. Is there an overlay newer than the gnome one? Seems I have some
packages from the newer gnome 3.1 release and some from the 3.0 and they
aren't playing nice.
