There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Maybey you should 5 minutes out of your life to actually read some documentation before forming your opinions. You see there are these things in Gentoo called USE settings which define options on a system-wide basis to configure applications during compilation. A simple export USE="-X" would solve this problem you have, but I suppose that might take some actual effort on your part to find that out.
