yes, get rid of the app that needs kde3 and move on.
Unfortunately there are some apps that do not have KDE4 replacements.
While I understand the Gentoo devs decision to drop the KDE3 desktop and
apps from portage, kdelibs should be kept as long as there are apps
depending on it. No, dropping all those apps is no the answer either, at
least, not yet.
Very true. There are still things that I can do in KDE 3.5 that I can't
do in KDE 4. Even if I use KDE 4 for the most part, I would still have
to have KDE 3.5 for the things I can't do in KDE 4. This may be the
reason the OP is keeping KDE 3.5 around as well. KDE really dropped the
ball this time.
OP, I would be willing to help you get this sorted out. I could send
the commands I remember using and it is not a bad or difficult thing. I
don't like using layman myself but I do want a working desktop too.
