Same thing happened here... machine is all stable - no ~x86.. help?  I now have
a partially updated gnome environment...

Ok it's going now and I lied about being all stable :)  I had mozilla 1.2.1-r1 
installed and it seems that is where the conflict was.  When moz 1.2.1-r4 went 
stable, I didnt upgrade it on this particular machine.  I won't complain 
emerge should have 'suggested' I upgraded from the old unstable version :)  My 
bad. 
 
Anyhow, there's a very helpful post in forums on this:

1) emerge unmerge mozilla  
2) emerge -C pango freetype  
3) emerge gtk+  
 
This resolved it. 
 
Thanks

Yes a rare problem. I think the the mozilla specific libs are tried before the
system wide libs. This should be fixed in the latest revision, altough im not
completely sure how it ties in here.

Thanks for figuring it out ;)
