gnome-characters-40.0 has a dependency on gnome-desktop that's not reflected in the ebuild. If gnome-desktop isn't installed (if not using the rest of GNOME), gnome-characters refuses to start. After installing just gnome-desktop, it starts normally. Running on stable amd64. $ gnome-characters (org.gnome.Characters:561965): Gjs-CRITICAL **: 23:38:25.002: JS ERROR: Error: Requiring GnomeDesktop, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GnomeDesktop' (any version) not found @resource:///org/gnome/Characters/js/categoryList.js:20:48 @resource:///org/gnome/Characters/js/window.js:30:22 @resource:///org/gnome/Characters/js/main.js:41:16 @/usr/bin/gnome-characters:6:1 (org.gnome.Characters:561965): Gjs-CRITICAL **: 23:38:25.002: Script /usr/bin/gnome-characters threw an exception
