On a freshly installed system shortly after a stage3 installation an emerge --ask --deep --newuse --verbose world complains about two versions of udev, which do not seem to fit together. Another questionable point is the fact, that I get nautilus in the dependency-chain of a relatively basic world file. It seems as if finally the display manager gdm, via gksu causes this dependency. A display manager, which is a relatively basic service just above X11, should not rely on a high-level user application like nautilus. I don't know, whether the udev problem and the nautilus phenomenon have anything to do with each other. If not, it may be appropriate to divert this bug report into two independent issues.

I don't think it's a bug. forums are a better place for asking support questions. Do as the output says, set 'extras' on sys-fs/udev. As for nautilus, if you did look at the ebuild, you'd see, that 'gnome' useflag in gksu is for a nautilus extension, if you unset it on the package, nautilus should not be pulled.
Rafał has this one nailed; gdm is pulling in a whole bunch of gnome-related dependencies. Please give his suggestions a try. If you can identify specific packages that have non-optimal default USE flags, please file separate bugs.
