Maybe I'm being stupid, but I don't understand why a user would need to
emerge xorg-x11 manually when doing 'emerge kde'. Surely somewhere in kde's
dependency graph the X server is called up in RDEPEND? An X server
is clearly a run-time dependency.
Like, konqueror RDEPENDS on qt which RDEPENDS on xorg-xserver, or whatever.
