You may have to use /etc/portage/package.use to get guis to some packages That may need kde or gnome Jdm Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone on O2 -----Original Message----- From: Space Cake <spaceca...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:07:40 To: <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org> Reply-to: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: move to xfce and forget kde and gnome On 2011. aug. 19., péntek, 14.54.40 CEST, Nikos Chantziaras wrote: > On 08/19/2011 03:02 PM, Space Cake wrote: >> hi, >> >> after playing a lot with desktop environment first I've decided to move >> from kde to gnome because kde is too "shine" and eat too much and >> contains a lot of feature which I don't really need.. gnome is good but >> still too fat.... so finally I've found Xfce which is perfect for my >> needs... :) >> >> my question is what is the easiest way to get rid of kde/gnome stuff? is >> this enough to change my useflags to -kde and -gnome?

Are you sure that's all? No need to change my global useflags at all? When I change profile and check what would be re-emerged, only a few minor changes exists.
