When I set up my little EEE netbook 2009 , I considered alternatives,
but quickly decided that Gentoo really does just work & is a good thing,
ie once you've put in the time to install it properly.

I eliminated it successfully a long time ago:
it seems to be needed by the KDE desktop, but not by the KDE apps I use.
I don't like the KDE 4 desktop, so use Fluxbox, which I strongly recommend
as something else which just works once you've set it up to taste.
BTW there are reports of problems with Xfce 4.8 .
