Haven't messed with visio files in years, and then only with Visio. > Emerging inkscape, it required 12 new packages > to be install too.

Roughly speaking, emerge -p --depclean will show you what packages are installed which you didn't explicitly ask for, and which are no longer depended upon by any explicitly-selected packages. So, say you install package A, and it depends on new packages B and C. When you uninstall package A, packages B and C remain. When you use --depclean, portage will see that B and C are installed, but aren't required by anything. Remove the -p to have portage go ahead and try to remove them. (But you might see something you want to have remain, which is why you should use -p first) -- :wq
