First, python3_11 is an older version, so I would recommend to only add this flag to specific versions, like so: =dev-python/pygobject-3.50.0 python_targets_python3_11 And likewise for any others that is really needed. If not you will get trouble as more and more of these packages drop support for python 3.11. You might need to update the versions here from time to time, but I think the error messages are easier to understand than when the support is dropped. That said, it might be easier to install the newer version of xpra than adding all these flags, as I had to add much more than your 21 to get it to want to install this for me.
