Hey, I saw the announcement about this package on the g-scripts-devel list for gnome.org's mailing lists. Its a replacement for gdialog. It is designed to be more intuative than gdialog is. I've put it in x11-misc, although another option is gnome-extra (it requires all gnome2's libs).

Created attachment 11765 [details] gnome-extra/zenity-1.1.ebuild I "updated" this for zenity version 1.1, and cleaned up the ebuild _slightly_. I dunno if this is already in portage or not though. I looked, but couldn't find.
updated USE (use gnome wasnt doing anything?) and fixed dependencies (no depend on meta package like gnome)

zenity's part of the gnome 2.3/4 desktop, and it's up to version 1.4. we'll add it along with the rest of 2.3/4. closing for now.
zenity 1.6 has been added for the gnome 2.4 release
