It doesn't. Can't. You can have as many slashes one after another as you want 
and they won't change a thing. The double slash here is because of path 
concatenation - 
var/tmp/portage/kdeartwork-2.2.1-r1/image/ + /usr/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/

I know - had the same error. It was a while ago, then it disappeared (not 
fixed? can't remember). At least it certainly has nothing to do with the 
multi-kdelibs stuff. I have an awful lot of things on my head, I'll try to 
solve asap=maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Sorry :-(. Anyone remember how this 
problem was solved?

Portage can (sometimes) be non-deterministic in determining the order of deps 
to be merged; don't pay it any mind.

Interesting; I'll investigate. Sorry about all the trouble!
