well what you mentioned was my set up until a week ago. I was on the
default profile. Afterwards I installed the other stuff let the portage
take care of missing use flags, and to be honest it was the first time in
my short linux life that I didnt hate KDE!(I hate the deign choices of
GNOME, and I thinks KDE have a good design with bad implementation!) In my
opinion it was way better that the KDE profile. I have moved to i3wm and
USE="-* ...." and it was not that hard. My concern was the use flags that
are better to be enabled globally like "bzip2".
