Not necessarily. |

xorg-x11 is a meta package that DEPENDS on other things needed for an X |
| 14 |
session. You obviously have everything you need for an X session, how |
| 15 |
otherwise would you be able to run KDE4? (assuming you are not exporting X). |

Normally it is advisable to install xorg-x11 so as to take advantage of |
| 18 |
updated DEPENDs etc etc. But it's not a must, it's actually a question only |
| 19 |
you can answer for you. |
