emerge depgrahp says

x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r3

which depends on

x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.7
x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11

That seems odd, but perhaps it just means that it can use either (it
does, gtk+ 2.6.7 is actually installed).

I did, they do, and the same effect.

I can't run X on the host machine, it's normally headless (graphics hard
but no monitor, keyboard or mouse) and is also currently my fileserver
so I can't reboot it to get the mouse to work (the other machines get
stale NFS handles if I do that and I have to reboot them as well).

(On the other hand, I'm finding that I really like ALSA -- very easy to
setup, use, and program; well, apart from the mixer where I can't see
how to do it in the documentation (which seems to link to something else
in the section which should be about the mixer) and I'll have to reverse
engineer amixer...)
