Uh.. then what exactly were you complaining about? The only thing that depends on kdebase-startkde is kdebase-meta, at least in a standard-ish installation of KDE using the meta packages. Let me put it this way: by not installing the -meta package, you explicitly say that you think you know better than the kde devs in what makes a basic, useable, KDE desktop. And now you complain because your subset of KDE packages does not contain everything you need? Okay, all jokes aside: since you have particular wants and don't-wants with regards to the KDE packaging, I really suggest that instead of keeping all that junk in your world file, that you create your own overlay and write your own -meta ebuild. My guess is just copying the kde-meta ebuild and editting the RDEPEND variable to reflect the actual packages you want will do it. HTH, W -- Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis.
