Think of it from my point of view. I followed the official guide to 
installing a stable KDE system on a plasma profile. I don't have any odd 
extras, omissions or other departures from the ordinary KDE experience. The 
only other program I run is BOINC (whence the wxGTK webkit USE flag below).  
I didn't make any USE changes except what was necessary to get the system 
working. Here is the entirety of my USE flags:

# make.conf: 
USE="-bluetooth -btrfs -fortran -gcj -geoloc -geolocation -gnome -iodbc 
       -ldap -lirc -nis -odbc -systemd -thin -wifi -wireless -xinerama 
       gpm handbook icu symlink" 

# package.use: 
app-emulation/virtualbox  additions extensions java python 
dev-lang/python           sqlite 
kde-apps/kdesu            -handbook 
media-libs/libvpx         svc 
media-libs/mesa           -vaapi 
net-misc/iputils          -caps -filecaps 
sys-devel/llvm            clang video_cards_radeon 
sys-kernel/linux-firmware savedconfig 
x11-libs/libdrm           video_cards_radeon 
x11-libs/wxGTK            webkit

That must be as close as can be to "standard", surely.

I use KMail but not the rest of kde-pim.

Now tell me why I should expect to be thrown a wobbler like a dependency 
conflict that cannot be resolved, on the face of it, and not at all without 
what look like significant system changes.

By the way, I did check for bugs before posting the first time, but I didn't 
expect to find anything useful in a stabilisation request - I never have 
before - so I didn't look at it. Mea culpa to that extent.
