10 Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, if you've emerged kde-meta, none of the
11 other kde things should be in your world file. You've probably
12 done a few emerges without using the --oneshot option. When all
13 the things below don't help, or have heleped, you may want to
14 delete the superfluous lines and do a fresh 'emerge -Du world',
15 just to be sure all is okay.

24 Delete all the other kde files from /etc/env.d/, keeping only the
25 3.4 one. The older ones are not needed any more since you've
26 uninstalled those versions, no? This may solve some of your
27 problems by removing that KDEDIR env var.

32
33 Maybe because of that KDEDIR var. When you've deleted the obsolete
34 env files, do 'env-update' and restart KDE.

39 Okay, your system looks pretty much up-to-date. But:

42
43 Try updating this one, with 'emerge --oneshot kdebase-pam'. It may
44 solve some access problems, maybe those of kicker. After emerging,
45 log out and back in.

51 The ancient version is still installed, no harm in it probably, but
52 no need for it either. If you wish, unmerge it with 'emerge -C
53 =python-2.2.3-r6', ignoring the warning.

60 Use 'eix -e ...' to see which of these packages, libquicktime,
61 openquicktime, giflib, libungif, you've got installed, uninstall
62 each of them with 'emerge -C =...', and later let a fresh 'emerge
63 -Du world' install the one's that are really needed.
64
65 That's a long list... So first resolve the blocking issues (if it
66 gives you trouble, search bugs.gentoo.org or the forums or the
67 archives of this list), then run 'emerge --depclean' in earnest to
68 get rid of all the obsoletes, after that do a 'revdep-rebuild', and
69 conclude with 'emerge -Du world'.

71 Perseverance,
