Is there any list > what I can safely unmerge in this case? You change your profile. You can see your current profile with: eselect profile list For KDE you would use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde" and for Gnome "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome". For anything else, use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop". Then do a: emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world emerge -a --depclean If KDE/Gnome stuff still remains after that, use: emerge -pv --depclean <package> to see what's pulling-in <package>.
