cdrdao has a non-optional dependency on gconf but works just fine if gconf is not installed. Please consider dropping the dependency or adding a USE flag for it.

Sorry but that was the wrong way around - the package does *not* need gconf, it works fine if there is no gconf on the system. It would be great if the dependency on gconf could be made optional through a USE flag.

I don't see anything in the source or build system which lets you properly disable it, so someone would need to create a patch if they're so motivated to allow disabling it properly. The dependency was originally added for bug 745351 because the build system would try call it. From the looks of it, it does genuinely try to use it for settings at least.
sadly, even the dev branch on gh (where it moved to) has gconf support in it for preferences: https://github.com/cdrdao/cdrdao/tree/dev.
