Am I making sense? This looks a lot like the gtk/gtk2 flags, but inverted; according to use.desc, gtk builds gtk+-1 unless gtk2 is set, whereas the above builds highest version compatible with the package unless a lower version is specifically requested through USE.
That's not what use.desc says gtk does. You just illustrated how confusing the gtk/gtk2 use flag situation has been. The gtk use flag doesn't specify a version. It just says that the package should build against *a* version of gtk+. The gtk2 flag was a way to prefer the gtk2 interface over the gtk1 interface if a package supported both. Thankfully, we've mostly moved past the gtk/gtk2 use flag mess now. Let's try not to make it quite so hard for people with the qt toolkit.
