Maybe I'll be able to confirm or deny tomorrow morning :)  The update
will take all night (on my slower machine) but I fear that the build
will quit with an error as soon as my head hits the pillow. I'll let
you know in the morning.

As an aside, I got this great idea for automating the update:

Instead of removing all gnome packages before updating gnome (much too
much boring work for lazy me) I updated the glib package first because
All Things Gnome depend on glib.

Then I started revdep-rebuild, which of course will automatically re-
install every gnome package on the machine (and update to the latest
versions of everything in the process :).

Of course portage refused to do the glib update because of a zillion
or more package conflicts, so I worked around that by running:

#ebuild /usr/portage/dev-libs/glib/glib-2.36.3-r1 merge

Let's see how many hours of pain my laziness will cost me this time :)
