So I found that The Gimp 2.3 can be compiled with <dbus> USE flag. It's better to add <dbus> USE tag to the <gimp> with dependence on <dbus> package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install <dbus> 2. Install <gimp> 3. Uninstall <dbus> 4. <gimp> crashes. I'm using gimp-2.3.16
Ditto for sys-apps/hal; there's no configure switch for hal though, the ebuild should depend on hal w/ USE=dbus.
fixed.
