That's not the question.  The question is, 'is it possible to
successfully run any system with "+gnome" for more than a few minutes
at a time?'

By the way, is there a way to get portage to emerge something masked
by a missing keyword and still maintain system sanity?  "ebuild
thepackage.ebuild" is apparently not recommended. :-(

Or do you have to stick it in OVERLAY_PORTDIR and go from there?
