To me, this method would be a hack. I'm of the opinion that the USE flags |

should automatically do the sensible thing and recognize that if -X is used, |
| 31 |
that KDE or Gnome or whatever /can't/ install because of -X. Along with this, |
| 32 |
should be an option to emerge to override and install anyway. Compiling |
| 33 |
the necessary packages (even X if it's needed), |
