Well, my USE list is |

|
| 16 |
USE="-* accessibility apm bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 |

so yes, anything not explicitly listed is disabled, as I prefer. |
| 28 |
So that is fixable, but not worth my time in this particular case. |
| 29 |
BTW the presence of 'gstreamer' in the list is not my choosing: |
| 30 |
the Gentoo KDE devs -- who are badly overworked -- have not fixed the bug |
| 31 |
which requires installation of sound pkgs to get KDE 4 to install |
| 32 |
(Gentoo bug 265864). |

I used the KDE 3 desktop from early 2005 till early 2009 , |
| 37 |
but confronted with 4.2.1 checked out alternatives |
| 38 |
& found Fluxbox 1.1.1 slightly better for what I do than KDE 3.5.10 : |
| 39 |
Fluxbox is flexible enough, very fast & very easy to configure. |
| 40 |
My computing is based on desktops with apps running full-screen mostly, |
| 41 |
so I have no need for plasmoids, widgets, dancing cubes & the rest of it. |
