I have read a number of different explanations and suggestions, some of them
regarding an earlier, yet similar, tanglement between versions of qt-*.
I've tried a number of suggestions, and I have unmerged and remerged
packages.

I am now trying to individually merge packages with dependencies on
qt-*-4.5.2.

I tried KDE 4.3.1, with some trepidation, and I have happily been running
gnome, save a couple of nits, and I have run into qt issues in the past.  I
would like to uninstall kde4 (like it, but not well enough to devote so many
resources to it, and to have to upgrade frequently and painfully).  I would
like to remove the KDE 4 installation, but keep the individual packages
depending on kdelibs.  (K3b, etc.).  Would this have an impact on this
issue?  This is off topic, but how to uninstall EXCEPT what I want, of
KDE4?   Is this reasonable?

Thanks.  I hope to solve this soon,  but it's too early to know whether the
help on this list was enough.  I changed USE flags, and the same messages
appear:
