libgnomecanvas fails an X11 test when the maketest feature is enabled. This is running with xorg and FEATURE=userpriv (as per the following emerge info) if that is significant.

I have just verified that the build works okay with FEATURES=-maketest.
I just thought of something else specific to this build. I was running the emerge as root in an xterm with an rsh to a remote machine. I.e. xterm -> su - -> rsh remote -> emerge libgnomecanvas. Perhaps the X authentication failed due to userpriv. Note that everything is set up correctly to launch other X apps from the same xterm/rsh session, as I used it to open an emacs session to change FEATURES for this particular build.
Ran into the same problem with bug #71070 and tried FEATURES=-userpriv, but it didn't help.

How is this in any way a duplicate of bug #69343? The referenced bug is a failure in a specific test once the tests were underway. This bug is a problem with making a connection to an X server that works perfectly fine for other applications. This failure happens long before it starts running the test that failed in the other bug. As another data point, I have now verified that the emerge works correctly using the exact same USE and FEATURE flags (including maketest) if it is run on a local machine. Therefore this is most likely an upstream problem with the gnome tests not working across a network.
Don't pretend you don't know why this is a dupe, it's dupe because the 'problems' come from the same FEATURE. The other bug has a sufficient explanation why we don't want to take these 'bugs'. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69343 ***
