You're thinking the wrong way around this. Ports require Gnome. Not
gnome-libs, gnome-controlcenter or gnome-core. USE_GNOME just implies
that a port wants Gnome. The only ports which need any finer
granularity within Gnome are those which are part of the base system.
Whether a port actually uses any of the many libraries or programs
supplied is not really relevant. The only reason for using a LIB_DEPENDS
to pull in gnome-core is that it allows version bumps.
