All this because there are some apps which are QT/KDE based and others are GTK/Gnome based. Using 'k3b' which requires QT/KDElibs, also kdebase-startkde just to have a working DE. Have full Gnome, but most time work using XFCE4. Initially when configuring my USE-flags took the default ones and put them (commented in /etc/make.conf) to see them and switch some ON/OFF. Rumen
