gvfs depends on sys-fs/udisk:2, so this one doesn't need udisks-1. > xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.3.0 (udisks ? sys-fs/udisks:0) What does xfce4-power-manager uses udisks for? You could try to emerge it with USE="-udisks" and see if you miss some functionality. If you don't, you can get rid of udisks-1 and LVM2.
