I dont know if i should fill two bugs for this or if it would be considered spamming. I wanted to install pychess on a very old ppc, and gentoo wanted to install the whole gnome AND evolution AND firefox (from _source_!) AND lot of other stuff, some of which would not even compile. So i've changed the DEPEND this way ---------- DEPEND="dev-python/pygtk dev-python/pygobject dev-python/pycairo dev-python/pysqlite dev-python/pygtksourceview gstreamer? ( dev-python/gst-python ) x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme" ----------- and far less stuff was installed. It works... though i should tell you. I've added ~ppc too, and it works well on this old ibook2. Reproducible: Always

dev-python/gnome-python-desktop is listed in the dependency by the upstream author. You might want to ask that they change the list of required packages in the INSTALL file as well as the list at http://gnomefiles.org/app.php/pychess
we'll stay with the upsteam recommendations.
