gnome-base/gvfs is needed so that features like adding bookmarks can be used. It is not pulled in if I do not use gnome as desktop environment (I use xfce4). Some people may not want this function, but some (like me) want. So, I hope that a USE flag is added to let users choose whether to pull it in or not. I have 'neat freak' so I do not want to add it to world.
Reading this: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evince/commit/?id=6c3e1d5f5c297d0158d4bfe027a7e16cec6831bb gvfs should be added to RDEPEND with "gnome" USE flag But looking to: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evince/commit/?id=cdbc65b6566faa422bab219c0b60d30d0093eaeb Looks like me more like an unconditional dependency

I can use the bookmark function of evince with gvfs installed but **without** gnome-base/gnome-desktop installed. So, they should not be pulled in by a single USE flag.
Yeah... because of the second commit is why I think it should be always pulled... but I leave there both references as there are some people that always complaint when we add a new dependency and would probably tell us that it's not needed ;)
