Adding the following lines to /etc/portage/package.keywords resolves the dependency problems for me. gnome-extra/gal ~amd64 gnome-base/libgtop ~amd64 gnome-extra/gnome-utils ~amd64
This package was missed out somehow when I was stabilising GNOME 2.8 last night. All is fixed in CVS; emerge sync and then you can remove your package.keywords entries.
Confirmed. I have two downgrades in my emerge -uD world now.
