Any way of fixing this, or is downgrading the only option?

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded to libxcb 1.4, and the only side effect so far is that
I cannot get gimp to compile.
The build log clearly points to the broken libxcb dependency, although
I followed the Upgrade Guide:

packages revdep-rebuild picked up as a result of deleting the link..

I did some searching and found that this problem is fairly widespread,
but I wasn't able to find a solution to it.
Basically, ever since I upgraded to libxcb-1.4 yesterday, whenever I
launch an application in Xorg, be that firefox, acroread, gimp, etc, I
get:

Well, I am running nvidia-drivers-180.60, and versions 185 and 190 are

Alright, I am now running 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel, but I still have

I tried a few things today:
1) rebuilt all x11-libs, media-libs, and anything I could think of
that would be related to x11-libs (such as gtk+, qt...)
2) downgraded to xorg-server-1.5
Neither of these things helped. Alan's hypothesis sounds plausible,
but I don't even know which package to po

by a simple rebuild. Whatever went into the lib-xcb upgrade probably
is either incompatible with the Mathematica frontend or has a bug
that's being exploited in this situation. Keeping my fingers crossed

This probably was already discussed at length... But I keep waiting

I did this

emerge -C com_err ss
but it still complained about blocks when I tried "emerge e2fsprogs"
So I had to do

This seems to work fine - no more blocks.
