Not that I disagree with some of your points, but this one screams to be resolved as UPSTREAM.
no, this one screams please use gnome split python bindings as in bug #258040.

AFAIK there is nothing wrong with gnome libs, but gnome-python-desktop isn't a lib, it's meta package that should not be depend on. Practically, to use gcdemu i must emerge a whole bunch of packages including even nautilus-cd-burner which is deprecated by all means.
Fixed in gcdemu-1.2.0.ebuild. Should go stable pretty soon.
