14 And what are your USE flags for those packages?

49 As you see, the "gnome" USE flag is what enables gnome-vfs (as an
50 *optional* dependency, based on the enabling or disabling of that flag),
51 The same goes for Thunderbird.
52
53 So try disabling the "gnome" USE flag-- you might want to do so globally
54 (in /etc/make.conf), if you don't use GNOME at all, and then run an
55 emerge -uaDNtv world to recompile all installed apps without GNOME support.
56
57 Hope this helps,
