AFAIK, as long as you don't incurr in a bug, you can directly emerge your final apps. Portage should take care of emerging all the dependencies. So, if you emerge -p kdegames you should see a lot of dependencies (X,KDE,...). Obviously you could split the work in several steps, and the correct sequence is X -> Window Manager(s) -> App(s) Many apps (Mozilla, Evolution) doesn't strictly rewuire a specific wm, but some of them have special support for several window managers (ex: OpenOffice places menu icons in KDE and Gnome2). I don't know if specifying USE="kde" in make.conf and emerging OpenOffice it emerges KDE. If you have time, my suggestion is: reboot your box and emerge anything you want in your preferred order (it worked for me with very little annoyances). Keep an eye on your box and if you receive any error from emerge check the formus and mailing lists archives, then ask the list. Happy gentooing. -- Arturo di Gioia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
