You can replace both of these lines with a single command:

# emerge -uaD --newuse world

The -a switch stands for "ask"; unlike -p, it does not calculate all the
dependencies twice.

Also, you only need --newuse if you've changed your USE flags in
/etc/make.conf.  Otherwise it doesn't do anything.

One more tip: the -v switch tells you which use flags will be in effect
when a given package is merged:

# emerge -uaDv world

HTH,
Jason
