18 Don't know. There's use flags that seem to be set because it's
19 recommended to set them, not because they're needed.

21 It seems to me that I have to choose either-or here in order to have a
22 well working desktop. Otherwise, if something doesn't seem work right,
23 I'll never know whether it's because of the profile or because of
24 something else.

26 I suppose I have to switch to the gnome profile and then see if KDE is
27 still working as before. But it seems I'll have to manually replicate
28 whatever the plasma profile is setting by hand.
