I'm using :BLOCKER: such:
** Throw away old stuff
SCHEDULED: [...]
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: throw-away
:END:
** Paint room
SCHEDULED: [...]
:PROPERTIES:
:BLOCKER: throw-away
:END:
This way, I don't see "Paint room" on my agenda as long as I did not
finish throwing away the old stuff.
So IMHO the BLOCKER line marks the earliest time of beginning of
"Paint room".

I don't know GANTT charts that well. I thought that with GANTT, the
"Paint room" just gets "connected" to the "end" of the "Throw
away"-bar. Additionally, if the "Throw away" bar is moved, the
"Paint room" is moved accordingly.

True. I added it for being complete about the features of org-depent
which I am using.

I hope that cleared things a bit.
Sorry again for being away for so long.
