Did you install by using kde-meta or some of its friends? If so, unmerge the meta package then run emerge -p --depclean and make sure you are not loosing anything you want to keep, then run revdep-rebuild to make sure all is still sane. Also, you can remove anything kde 3.5 in your world file, then run depclean to remove it. Keep in mind that the world file supports version specific lines now. I'm sure some other guru will come along with other ideas but one of those should work. May not be perfect but is anything ever perfect? Dale :-) :-)
