As Willie and Mark stated, I'll add a - sort of. |

I'm pretty much with you on using gnumeric and not gnome. Same with |
| 26 |
kworldclock but not kde. And I started out using - -gnome and -kde. But |
| 27 |
have just stopped the practice. I just use -* at the beginning of my USE |
| 28 |
flags and select all the things I do want. |

The problem with -* is it makes everything minimal so you have to spend a |
| 31 |
lot of time adding in the things you want. To me that's preferable to getting |
| 32 |
a lot of what I don't want tagging along. Also, it insure that PAM stays off |
| 33 |
my system. |
