Probably not. Prior to modular-X, any package that depended on |
| 8 |
anything X related would depend on virtual/x11, which originally could |
| 9 |
be provided by xfree86 or x.org, but now just x.org. |

As part of porting to modular-X, all (well, almost all) packages that |
| 12 |
previously depended on virtual/x11 were updated to depend on _either_ |
| 13 |
virtual/x11, or the specific modular-X package[s] that they really |
| 14 |
needed. |

So the above depclean output means that none of those packages are in |
| 17 |
your world file, and nothing in your world file depends directly or |
| 18 |
indirectly on them, based on your current USE flags. Specifically, |
| 19 |
nothing really depends on virtual/x11, because the dependancies are |
| 20 |
satified by the various modular-X packages you have installed. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So the proper thing to do here is probably add the specific apps that |
| 23 |
you actually care about and use to world. |
