I have used that file before. I am still a bit new to this. I'm
learning though, slowly.
There's no need to reinstall for this. Change your USE flags and do
"emerge -uavDN world". To re-emerge anything affected by the changes.
Then do "emerge -a depclean" to remove packages that are no longer needed.
How's this look? Anything going to break? I'm not worried about
removing KDE 3.4. 3.5 seems stable anyway. I like that WARNING though.

I see gnome-vfs on the list. That thing drives me nuts. <clenches teeth >
You will also disable, and never know about, any new or changed USE
flags. USE="-*..." is not a good idea for general use.
That's what I was worried about. Those unintended consequences that
makes thing break.
Incidentally, you can see which USE flags are set, including defaults,
with "emerge --info".
Oh yeah. Me forgot that one. That's better than trying to sort them
out manually.
Thanks.
