Indeed ! -- so there's hope it wb fixed in a future KDE release.

Well, my USE list is
USE="-* accessibility apm bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2
cdr crypt cups curl dbus foomaticdb
gcj gdbm gif gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal handbook
imagemagick imlib java javascript jpeg kde lcms libwww lm_sensors
mime motif mpeg multilib ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia opengl
pcre pdf perl plotutils png pop python qt3 qt3support qt4 readline
scanner session slang sqlite ssl svg threads tiff tk
toolbar truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts
unicode usb vim-syntax
win32codecs X xcb xml xorg xv zlib"
so yes, anything not explicitly listed is disabled, as I prefer.
So that is fixable, but not worth my time in this particular case.
BTW the presence of 'gstreamer' in the list is not my choosing:
the Gentoo KDE devs -- who are badly overworked -- have not fixed the bug
which requires installation of sound pkgs to get KDE 4 to install
(Gentoo bug 265864).

I used the KDE 3 desktop from early 2005 till early 2009 ,
but confronted with 4.2.1 checked out alternatives
& found Fluxbox 1.1.1 slightly better for what I do than KDE 3.5.10 :
Fluxbox is flexible enough, very fast & very easy to configure.
My computing is based on desktops with apps running full-screen mostly,
so I have no need for plasmoids, widgets, dancing cubes & the rest of it.
