emerge adds only those packages to the world file which you specify
explicitely on the command line. All other packages which are installed to
fulfill the dependencies are not added. When you do a normal update, only
those packages listed in world are considered. To update dependencies as well,
you need to use -D. Therefor you should emerge kdelibs with -1 to avoid having
it added to the world file.
