It doesn't seem like a complain, if you read it like you would really answer it. |

It wast just a comment to justify the question. I don't see a reason |
| 40 |
to question his comment. Gentoo is about choice (not just compiling), |
| 41 |
and this thread is about Getting rid of all KDE components. Someone |
| 42 |
goes off-topic and all of a sudden the OP feels attacked (I would feel |
| 43 |
the same). If you're not going to answer the question, don't send it |
| 44 |
to the list. |

I have removed KDE long time ago, and right now I have most of it back |
| 47 |
so I can use one or two programs (I just love K3B, never used KDE as a |
| 48 |
WM, but K3B kicks ass, and Gentoo, as I said, is about choice). It |
| 49 |
seems to me that if you remove all kde basic components, all |
| 50 |
dependencies (its the case of your arts list) would be target for |
| 51 |
removal by emerge --depclean... Run revdep-rebuild and maybe check the |
| 52 |
-e option of emerge to get rid of whatever is left (or wants to come |
| 53 |
back). |
