33 Are you sure that's all? No need to change my global useflags at all?
34 When I change profile and check what would be re-emerged, only a few
35 minor changes exists. What I would like to achieve to get rid of all
36 the fat kde/gnome stuff but of course without re install my whole
37 system. Is there anyone here who already did something similar?
