Repoman triggers dependency.missingslot on media-libs/libpng atom, but looking through the code I don't think there's actually any reason to depend on libpng at all.  The package just contains png files that are used to build the cursors with xcursorgen (which hard-deps on libpng already).  

Unless libXcursor dlopen's libpng when it loads png-based cursors, I think the solution here is to just drop the dep?

Agreed. I've dropped the libpng dependency.
