I tried a few with no joy, too, and now I've done as you suggest. Thanks for that -- I'd thought portage would complain if I did that. The delay may have saved me a little bit of pain. Before re-syncing today, something I didn't understand was preventing okular being rebuilt after switching to the desktop/plasma profile, but not now. I'm one of the nuts who has USE="-*", and I've finally hit a situation where it causes considerable headaches; plasma 5 requires a lot of per-package USE stuff, all handled in the profile thanks to careful work from the devs. Instead of trying to tackle it package-by-package, for now I've just copied the profile's package.use to my /etc/portage/package-use. I think this will be too much for me to maintain as plasma 5 and the profile change, so when I get some time I'll be ditching USE="-*" in order to rely on the profile. My fellow USE="-*" loonies who will have to move to plasma 5 might want to consider ditching USE="-*" first.
