I've such a question, how can I unmerge some group of packages for example kde. Some time ago I merged kde and gnome, but I don't use them anymore. How can I unmerge all of the packages they merged? Is there any possibilities to do it like "emerge unmerge --some_keys gnome"?
Unmerge the kde/gnome packages themselves, then run "emerge -p depclean" to
see if this would remove only packages you don't need anymore. If you agree,
run "emerge depclean".
You will see that "emerge -p depclean" and "emerge depclean" provide you with
a big, nice warning IN CAPITALS, so please don't just ignore what it sais :)

That was the whole reason I wrote my script in the first place. Instead of looking at all packages, it just considers packages that are listed when you do 'emerge -ep [gnome|kde]' and ignores all packages that are listed when you do 'emerge -ep system'. That way, it only considers packages that were installed as a result of the original 'emerge [gnome|kde]'.
