You'll have to do a manual depclean (very carefully) and
revdep-rebuild, but it's worth the effort to purify your Gentoo system.
Simpler than that, just add -hal to xorg stuff in package.use and then
run emerge -uvDNa world.
I'm not saying your way won't work but I think mine is easier.
His way is also *way* more Luddite than yours. Note the
'pam' and 'dbus', two things basically standard (and very
stable) on modern Linux desktop systems.
