The information you present do NOT justify any changes in the gnome-themes ebuild.
I tried to grep for XML.*Simple in the gnome-themes sources and it didn't match at all. So I guess XML::Simple is used indirect.

So please show which command misses XML::Simple.

[Comment 2 Roman 2011-10-15 17:49:12 UTC]

Yes, dependence is indirect.
The error appeared during configure stage, that's why I think there must be explicit dependence on XML-Simple in ebuild so that it will be installed/upgraded automatically before gnome-themes.

[Comment 3 Roman 2011-10-15 17:51:35 UTC]

When I have time I'll try to unmerge XML-Simple and re-emerge gnome-themes to justify.

Try "emerge --deep -1 gnome-themes". That should pull in any indirect dependencies. And if XML-Simple is not pulled in by --deep, that would be a bug.
