I don't have xorg-server in my world file, but a lot of kde applications and this: n22 /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server # grep x11 /var/lib/portage/world x11-misc/xfishtank x11-apps/xprop x11-misc/googleearth x11-misc/xlockmore x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch So I'm wondering why 'emerge -auD world' doesn't want update anything whereas 'emerge -auD xorg-server' wants to update that package.

Because none of the above depends on xorg-server itself.
Hhm, after having a ddeper look I've installed : Sat Jul 1 20:05:08 2006 ::: completed emerge (2 of 2) x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 to / OTOH I have: Fri Jun 30 21:57:13 2006 >>> emerge (7 of 27) x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 to / Fri Jun 30 22:14:53 2006 ::: completed emerge (7 of 27) x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 to / "$>qdepends x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1" gives the string x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.1 in the result set but tt seems I should explicitly unmerge x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1, isn't it ?
Yeah, xorg-x11 is just a meta package left in the tree for convenience.
