25 Yeah, Thanks Neil. After some more playing, it had become pretty clear that
26 xscreensaver was calling for libglade. I want to keep that. I had tried
27 removing the gst-plugins and gstreamer, but an emerge -uaDntv wanted to bring
28 them all back. I've more or less resigned myself to the fact that I'm stuck
29 with a few gnome packages.
