If you've installed via kde-meta, either mask kde-meta:4 or change the world entry to kde-meta:3.5. Otherwise masking the 4.x versions of all KDE packages in world should do most of what you need grep ^kde-base /var/lib/portage/world | sed s/$/:4/ >/etc/portage/package.mask/kde4 -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error:01F Reserved for future mistakes.
