Re: [gentoo-user] Re: move to xfce and forget kde and gnome

Lazlo my use flags for keeping kde and gnome away are  -kde -gnome  -qt4

I also have 
eselect profile set 1

You may have to use /etc/portage/package.use to get guis to some packages
That may need kde or gnome

Are you sure that's all? No need to change my global useflags at all? 
When I change profile and check what would be re-emerged, only a few 
minor changes exists. What I would like to achieve to get rid of all 
the fat kde/gnome stuff but of course without re install my whole 
system. Is there anyone here who already did something similar?

Thank you
