It seems this package relies on obsolete gnome2 libs for its gtk support... if that support is not really needed, it would be nice to disable it if possible Thanks

Yeah, GTK ui is not very useful. Dropped USE=gtk in 1.3.2-r2. Do you plan to remove those libs from gentoo completely? I hoped to see a bug in 'Blocks:' tag with a few pointers what is the new libs everyone migrates to :)
I think we are still also trying to get rid of the python bindings of these deprecated libraries, so there's a tracker for that, but not the C libraries themselves yet. In case of libgnomeui, it depends on what functionality it uses; iirc, often it's just to open an URI, for which there's gtk_show_uri now. Other cases have other replacements. libglade is obsolete by GtkBuilder API, available since gtk 2.12 (yes ancient gtk2 already, not gtk3). It involves a conversion of the .glade files to .ui files (both are XML afaik). The main visual designer is still dev-util/glade though, it just now outputs .ui files; latest versions don't support .glade files anymore. gtk-builder-convert can be used to convert the old .glade to new .ui file as a starting point; in gentoo this tool is split out of gtk+:2 into dev-util/gtk-builder-convert package. All this is upstream work material, of course.
