Any how...I'm wondering what the best method to remove KDE3.5 safely is:
1) Just leave it and may be it'll just get removed?
2) Found this entry on removing it
http://linuxized.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-unmerge-kde-3-packages-if-their.html
But nothing registers as a 'dup' even though qlist does show a lot of KDE
3.5.10 packages installed. (Yeah, I'd need to modify the line to ensure it
doesn't remove KDE 4.3.5).
3) Gentoo KDE4 guide suggests a method, but it seems to be more related to
removing KDE entirely...

If you keep your world file (/var/lib/portage/world) tidy, simply
deleting all lines with KDE3 packages and running emerge -a --depclean
will take care of it.
You *do* keep your world file tidy, don't you? :P
