hi,

after playing a lot with desktop environment first I've decided to move
from kde to gnome because kde is too "shine" and eat too much and
contains a lot of feature which I don't really need.. gnome is good but
still too fat.... so finally I've found Xfce which is perfect for my
needs... :)

my question is what is the easiest way to get rid of kde/gnome stuff? is
this enough to change my useflags to -kde and -gnome? Is there any list
what I can safely unmerge in this case?

You change your profile.  You can see your current profile with:

  eselect profile list

For KDE you would use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde" and for Gnome "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome".

For anything else, use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop".  Then do a:

  emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world
  emerge -a --depclean

If KDE/Gnome stuff still remains after that, use:

  emerge -pv --depclean <package>

to see what's pulling-in <package>.
