grep kde /var/lib/portage/world and eyeball the output. There should only be -meta packages, and individual packages for which you have NOT installed the -meta package, in there. vi the world file and remove the stuff that shouldn't be there, then emerge -C <all-kde3.5-meta-packages-in-world> && emerge -a --depclean -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
