The correct answer is "I don't know".  I use gnome, not kde, as my
desktop, but I do like the k3b disc-burner app, so I have the minimal
kde and qt libs to support k3b.

I recently ran into upgrade problems with my minimal qt/kde system
that I fixed simply by deleting every package depending on either qt
or kde, and all problems were magically fixed.  (Don't ask me why.)

Pain in the butt, but maybe worth the pain.
