It doesn't seem like a complain, if you read it like you would really answer it. It wast just a comment to justify the question. I don't see a reason to question his comment. Gentoo is about choice (not just compiling), and this thread is about Getting rid of all KDE components. Someone goes off-topic and all of a sudden the OP feels attacked (I would feel the same). If you're not going to answer the question, don't send it to the list. I have removed KDE long time ago, and right now I have most of it back so I can use one or two programs (I just love K3B, never used KDE as a WM, but K3B kicks ass, and Gentoo, as I said, is about choice). It seems to me that if you remove all kde basic components, all dependencies (its the case of your arts list) would be target for removal by emerge --depclean... Run revdep-rebuild and maybe check the -e option of emerge to get rid of whatever is left (or wants to come back). -- Daniel da Veiga
