Even through I have USE="-arts" on whole system, Krusader (v. 1.30) failed to compile asking for arts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Looks like this version doesn't support being built without arts. 1.40 looks like it supports --without-arts - try that one instead.
1.40 is the only package available in portage now, so this should be fixed.
