Compiling gconf-editor-2.6.0 and above fails at linking since gtk_flush_display(...) is not defined in GTK+ lower than 2.4 according to the API documentation. The DEPENDs for gconf-editor-2.6 need to be updated from ">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.2" to ">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4". Also, the ebuilds are currently doing RDEPEND="..." and DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" - this is wrong according to Ebuild Policy [1] and this should be updated to just DEPEND="...".

could someone fix that dep, maybe relay it upstream (i bet it's wrong in the configure file).. as far as the rdep thing goes, i think you misinterpret it, should probably be made more clear that this is only when it's literally DEP="${RDEP}"
> this is only when it's literally DEP="${RDEP}" Hm, I didn't notice the gettext and intltool in there. Then it's fine as-is.
this has been long fixed
