I don't mean to start an argument, but it does "want" them, as I said,
even if they are not stated deps in the ebuild. My USE flags are:
USE="-* apm bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cdr crypt cups dri foomaticdb
gcj gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib java javascript jpeg
kde lcms libwww lm_sensors mime motif mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly
nsplugin nvidia opengl pcre pdf perl plotutils png pop python
qt3 readline scanner session slang ssl
tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb X xml xorg xv zlib"
ie I drop them all, then define those I deliberately want.
If Gedit drags in all deps for the Gnome desktop, then my question is:
whyever would the Gnome desktop want sound pkgs or a CD burner ??
and perhaps too: why does Gedit drag in all the Gnome desktop deps ??
If the answer is "That's just the way Gnome does things",
that tends to confirm the correctness of my avoidance of Gnome
in favor of KDE & (installed, but not used) Xfce (smile).

Kwrite is included under Kate, which is a separate Gentoo pkg,
but what I should have refered to is Kedit:
eix kedit
* kde-base/kedit
Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.5 ~3.5.6
Homepage: http://www.kde.org/
Description: KDE: very simple text editor
The simplest editor I know is 'e3', which I sometimes use:
it's not GUI, but it's very quick & easy (I use the 'Nedit' mode).
Gvim is my mainstay for most things, of course.
HTH the OP.
