Hi,

It is my understanding that even if you disable those flags
(-kde -qt) and you try to emerge a package that depends 
on kde and qt libraries, those will be compiled as well.

As an example, I am running xfce4 (gtk2) and my use flags have 
-kde -qt, if I try to emerge k3b, it shows that it wants to emerge:
(just a snippet)

x11-libs/qt
kde-base/kde-env
kde-base/kde-libs

The flags only affect what a given package is *able* to support.

In this example, if I want to be able to use k3b, some
kde and qt libraries need to be compiled so it can run, 
and that is completely different than the software 
supported by k3b that can be customized through altering
the use flags.

HTH,

-AR

If the truth can't set you free, a lie will save you.
