So, what if I have changed the flags to -kde and -gnome, and I also ran
depclean, also used the script provided by some kind member of the list
and I still have all the kde gnome stuff on my system? Do I need some
list of packages should I unmerge? Should I simple unmerge packages
kde-base/* and so on and run revdep-rebuild after this? Is this a
working approach?
