54 Are you sure that's all? No need to change my global useflags at all?
55 When I change profile and check what would be re-emerged, only a few
56 minor changes exists. What I would like to achieve to get rid of all
57 the fat kde/gnome stuff but of course without re install my whole
58 system. Is there anyone here who already did something similar?
