It is possible you installed something with a lot of gnome dependencies, |
| 15 |
then removed it. |

That would take a while for 30 packages. I'd remove a few at a time, the |
| 24 |
least harmful looking first, and unmerge them. Then run "emerge -utvDN |
| 25 |
world" to see if something wants to bring them back in. If not, remove |
| 26 |
some more. Or you could quickpkg them all and unmerge the lot in one go |

kernels are slotted, so you'd need prune to remove the older ones. If |
| 35 |
you prefer to keep more than one installed, use "equery list -d |
| 36 |
sources" to see which you have. |

That depends on what you use your system for. I have 930 on my laptop but |
| 41 |
only 246 on my server. |
