we provide meta packages (X/kde/gnome/etc...) for the split packages so users 
can just emerge 1 package to get them all

on one machine i like to run kde so the meta packages are a godsend ... yet on 
another machine, i only want k3b/kmail and nothing else so the split packages 
too are a godsend :)
