I decided to try kde and gnome again just for the heck of it.  But while
it's installing right now I noticed some intresting things on the
install list.  Why does it want to install thease:

[ebuild  N   ] dev-libs/elfutils-0.76  
[ebuild  N   ] app-arch/rpm-4.2_pre069  
[ebuild  N   ] sys-devel/gdb-5.3  
[ebuild  N   ] gnome-extra/bug-buddy-2.2.103  
[ebuild  N   ] app-arch/file-roller-2.2.3  
[ebuild  N   ] x11-wm/metacity-2.4.34  
[ebuild  N   ] x11-libs/startup-notification-0.5  
[ebuild  N   ] x11-libs/vte-0.10.25  
[ebuild  N   ] gnome-base/gail-1.2.0  
[ebuild  N   ] gnome-base/gdm-2.4.1.3  
[ebuild  N   ] gnome-base/eel-2.2.2  
[ebuild  N   ] app-editors/gedit-2.2.1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-gfx/eog-2.2.1  
[ebuild  N   ] x11-libs/libwnck-2.2.1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/gstreamer-0.6.0-r2  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/jpeg-mmx-1.1.2-r1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/libmovtar-0.1.3-r1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.6-r1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/avifile-0.7.32.20030219  
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/mjpegtools-1.6.0-r7  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/hermes-1.3.2-r2  
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.6.0-r4  

This is between kde and gnome... most of it gnome.  Now I can get that
the multi media stuff may tie into the filemanagers in both or their
graphics packages maybe but somethings here being seperate you'd think
would stay seperate.  ie eye of gnome and such would stay out and I
could choose to install them if I want.  I really don't get why rpm is
even listed as I don't use them at all.  Only rpm I had to mess with I
think was for real player maybe and that used rpm2tar.  I'm wondering
now if after it's installed if I can remove some extra components I have
no use for or if on a new update it will complain that it wants to stick
them back in.
