Well, I put -semantic-desktop in my USE line and ran emerge -uvDN
world.  It recompiled several things and told me it had some
@preserved-rebuild packages to build.  So, I ran that and got this
little message:

root@smoker / # emerge @preserved-rebuild -a

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.2:4.3[semantic-desktop,-kdeprefix]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.2-r3 (Change USE: +semantic-desktop)
(dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.3.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@preserved-rebuild" [argument])

root@smoker / #

So I guess we can't really have the USE flag disabled either.  Neato !

Now to change my USE line back again and run emerge -uvDN world.
