26 That is sometimes another option. If it complains about something,
27 unmerge it and see what happens. I sort of hate to post that because I
28 didn't know what other packages it may break. I also don't use Gnome
29 since I am a KDE guy. Just lucky enough to have a machine fast enough
30 to run KDE. I wasn't sure how deep the dependency was for Gnome to work
31 without that package.

33 Glad you got it working tho. That's the important part.
