5 After some sleep & investigation, I found the problem, which is with Gvim.
6 The gtk+ gtk+2 USE flags have been dropped for Gvim-9 ,
7 which now defaults to the Motif GUI, which won't start from CLI :
8 "E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time".
9 This cb avoided by using USE="-motif" , which defaults to using Gtk:3 ,
10 & Gvim starts from CLI as it should.

12 Gentoo Bug 831250 covers removing the gtk USE flags.
13 I have added a comment as above & we'll see what the devs decide to do.
