21 The correct answer is "I don't know". I use gnome, not kde, as my
22 desktop, but I do like the k3b disc-burner app, so I have the minimal
23 kde and qt libs to support k3b.

25 I recently ran into upgrade problems with my minimal qt/kde system
26 that I fixed simply by deleting every package depending on either qt
27 or kde, and all problems were magically fixed. (Don't ask me why.)
