Thanks Nikos, I am still confused if the tail is wagging the dog with this 
one.  It is a stable arch, so inkscape should stay stable and not asking me to 
keyword it, especially as its reverse dependency is stable at a higher 
version.  Consequently, imagemagick would stay at the latest stable version 
too.

Anyway, I removed imagemagick from the world file and now portage is no longer 
asking for either inkscape or imagemagick to be emerged.
