Does offering to compile -gnome make any difference to the proposed build?

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv openoffice

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] app-office/openoffice-bin (is blocking
app-office/openoffice-2.0.0)

I use the -bin, as you can see, and I don't really use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS
on the command line (because that's A Bad Thing), but I just wanted to
quickly see if the 2.0 version of openoffice had a +gnome keyword, and
it does (the stable version doesn't).

That said, I don't see what the GNOME libs are likely to 'do' to your
KDE system-- more likely less damage than the KDE libs generally do to my
mostly-GNOME based system, and much less damage than the proposed
addition of PAM does to almost any system, ime. What exactly are you worried
might happen?
