However I now find that emerge -u world fails to update any of the component packages to their latest versions, which should all be 3.4.1(-r2/r3/etc). I end up emerging newer versions individually (e.g. "emerge kopete") when I think I have a bug problem, which is obviously a clumsy way to do things. I know I can "emerge kdebase-meta kdeaddons-meta kdeblahblahblah" to get things up to date, but is there a way to get portage to actually deal with kde nicely like it used to?
