Configure fails with: checking for X11... no configure: error: Could not find x11 - Try installing libX11-devel.

And I'm on a server, that's why I don't have any X11 at all. # equery u icedtea-web [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for dev-java/icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1: U I - - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc).

This is already patched around in 1.6.1 and merged upstream. We haven't been able to get rid of the troublesome 1.5 yet but we're about to.
1.6.1 is now stable.
