Isn't baselayout part of system?  Wouldn't --depclean leave that
installed?  Something sounds . . . fishy.  I run --depclean and I don't
recall it ever removing something in system.

That said, always add a -p or -a to that thing.  It can boo boo and
remove something you need if you are not careful.  I removed a kde thing
once.  No GUI for a bit.
