Emerging compiz-settings fails because of missing gconf-2.0 dependency: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-1 compiz >= 0.3.3 dbus-glib-1 gconf-2.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met: No package 'gconf-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PACKAGE_CFLAGS and PACKAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. !!!

Moreover, compiz needs to be compiled with gconf support (--enable-gconf). With the current ebuild, this is only true if the gnome use-flag was set. I don't know if it is possible, but the compiz ebuild should have a gconf use-flag that would pull gconf in, and compiz-setting should just check that compiz was installed with the gconf use-flag set.

In a potential "gnome" USE flag enabling, I would find myself emerging almost a whole GNOME desktop.

Suggestion: either put a gconf USE flag for compiz, or simply keep it as a hard dependency, for GNOME or KDE. And why is this comment here, in a bug filed for compiz-settings? Because compiz-settings won't work with a GConf-disabled Compiz, and the only way to compile an usable Compiz is to install the entire GNOME desktop, or to play with EXTRA_ECONF, like I did.
*** Bug 168027 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've now default-enabled gconf in compiz.
