I had the same problem last weekend. After a day I couldn't so I ran "emerge -e --keep-going world" (after backing up a few important files and running eclean-dist and emerge with dist-clean). Twenty hours later everything was back. I only had a few administrative task and everything was ok. The only problem I have left is the "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" error. If I run startx a few times it seems to go away and that will have to due until I get around to fixing it. This probably wasn't the ideal solution, but it worked. The toughest part was leaving the computer for so long. Also, there use to be a command that would build an xorg.conf.new file in the root's home directory. It was call xconfig or something like that; I can't seem to find it anymore. Has it been deprecated?
