Or you might prefer [1]. I don't know whether the desktop profile will pull 
in some things you might not want in LXDE.

I had profile [1] until recently, when I switched to [3] as this is a KDE 
box. Since then I've had fewer occasions to add USE flags to packages.

One strategy would be to start with [1], and when you can see the effect 
more clearly, reconsider [2], but I wouldn't recommend any of [3] to [5] to 
you.
