This should probably be changed to GNOME and GNOME + Enlightenment.
Both would install GNOME (x11/gnome), but the latter would also install
x11-wm/enlightenment.

Yes, one entry for GNOME 2 that installs x11/gnome2. This will give the
user the choice of either sawfish2 or metacity. I would call this entry
simply GNOME 2.

I think I've fixed all the build errors. I'm keeping a close eye on the
