I'm confused here. (even more..)

Before starting the compile:
I ran a comparision of `emerge -v -p kde' and 
emerge -v -p kde-meta

The last showed a much larger pile of dependancies than the former.
So I ran the former.

I've now canceled as suggested and running `emerge  kde-base/kdebase'

It only showed the main kde-3.4X as dependancy.  But with all the
screwups I've managed to get these kde packages installed:
(And don't need several of them)

kde-base/kdegraphics-3.4.1-r1 *
kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.1-r1 *
kde-base/kdebase-pam-6 *
kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 *
kde-base/arts-3.4.1-r2 *
kde-base/kdebase-3.4.1-r1 *
kde-base/kdeartwork-3.4.1 *
kde-base/kdepim-3.4.1-r2 *
kde-base/kdegames-3.4.1 *
kde-base/kdeutils-3.4.1 *
kde-base/kdenetwork-3.4.1-r1 *
kde-base/kdeedu-3.4.1-r1 *
