me too i'm updating  every day.... i sync once a day and update when there
are 2-3 packages to do, or when i get a major update (gcc, libtool, kernel,
atidrivers, xorg, kde) of what i use every day....

so, the problem is the misconfiguration of some package.... this may be due
to some etc-update and by chosing the -3 option there.... your configuration
was overwritten when you've updated the package.... try this guide to see if
it fits your needs:

if that doesn't work, make a script in /usr/local/bin/ and recall it by
using it as a keyboard shortcut.... i've done this with a script that
enables/disables wireless on my notebook....

the problem with gnome is mono and evolution, which are growing more and
more integrated into it.... besides, for my taste kde is 1000000000 time
more good looking, with tons of qt styles around to fit your best taste, and
with the best app around: k3b compared to nautilus is something far away of
ages, amarok destroys every other musical software around, the new opensuse
kmenu ported to gentoo by sabayon is something that is far beyond the gnome
or kde start menu, krusader is the best file manager around, konqueror is
the best low resource browser and comes with firefox plugins full
integration, the kdevelop is the best suite around, kaffeine is a media
player that destroys its concurents, except mplayer.... the other feature
that makes me very proud of kde is the copy/move option on the right mouse
button.... it is quite a thing for usability.... i don't know if gnome has
something similar.... the only gnome app that i've been using is pan which
is the best newsreader around, and the compiz, cause it has its gnome/mono
bindings.... for all the aspects kde has jumped far far away of gnome and
now leads into linux desktops....  the novell-microzoz partnership will move
more and more people from gnome-evo-mono to kde.... this is my opinion....
the only problem around kde is the resources that it takes, which are a
little more that gnome's or of the other windows managers....

as i said, try to find the configuration problem.... it is that one that
makes you mad....
