unmerge and USE Flags

[epoch7]

Hello, I am a first time gentoo use, gentoo is awesome, I love emerge. However, I initially compiled gentoo with xorg support, I decided to use my linux box as a server and so I unmerged it. Learning to use gentoolkit I wanted to find if any programs were dependent on X, all I could find were emacs, links2, python, groff, and giflib.

Emacs and links were crashing after the xorg unmerge, I couldnt open them. So I edited my make.config to include "-X" instead of just "X" and unmerge'd then re-emerge'd links and emacs. I rebooted just to be sure the make config would be used(i didnt know if it would make a difference). Now links and emacs work ok(python opens, dont really know about it but i know gentoo uses it alot and since i can still use emerge i assume its working) but when I run 'equery hasuse X' emacs and links still appear. How do I stop them from appearing there? Should I re-emerge python? Can I even do that without screwing up my installation? what about the other packages?

Thank you for any help you can give, I just want to say again how great gentoo is running, and how EXTREMELY WELL the gentoo handbook is written.
