The easiest thing is to remove xorg entirely: uninstall |
| 14 |
xorg-base/xorg-x11 and mask the package in /etc/portage/package.mask. |
| 15 |
Also, add "-X -gtk -qt3 -qt4" to your USE flags. Then try an emerge |
| 16 |
-uDNvp world; it would tell you what packages could not be resolved |
| 17 |
because they need X.org. |

It would be long and don't think it can be automated. When I |
| 20 |
eliminated KDE (why did I have to install it in the first place?), it |
| 21 |
took at least five emerges to get it done. You can advance by |
| 22 |
equery'ing all the packages with kde, gnome, and x11 categories or |
| 23 |
names, get the list and remove all of them. |

Good luck: but it's going to take a little effort. |
