You don't need to unmerge 3.4 _first_. You can do it after you have |

merged 3.5, although even then it is optional. |

No, like all USE flags, the kde flag is only for *optional* kde |
12 |
support. There are some applications that will not work at all |
13 |
without KDE, even though they are not part of KDE. Those applications |
14 |
will not have a kde use flag, but will bring in whatever parts of kde |
15 |
they depend on. Examples are koffice, kdevelop, kmplayer, kaffeine, |
