Hi,
Think that at least some users have both Gnome&KDE (i for example). All
this because there are some apps which are QT/KDE based and others are
GTK/Gnome based.
Using 'k3b' which requires QT/KDElibs, also kdebase-startkde just to
have a working DE. Have full Gnome, but most time work using XFCE4.
Initially when configuring my USE-flags took the default ones and put
them (commented in /etc/make.conf) to see them and switch some ON/OFF.
