Well, you caught me.  I don't really have many ideas on the topic.  I really 
see this falling into two categories:

* put desktop specific apps in their own category
* spread desktop specific apps around based on their category

And the real question is, where does the divide happen?

Currently, kde applications go into their respective categories around 
portage.  The only thing separated out are the base kde packages.  However, 
some people may think that that a few of the packages, quanta and kdevelop, 
for example, should go into a kde-extra category.  I'm not against it, though 
I'm not necessarily for it.  Instead, I just want to be consistent with what 
everyone else is doing.

It looks to me like, in keeping with what's already in portage, I should 
create a kde-extra category and move some of the more popular kde 
applications there.  Unless there's even broader restructuring plans that are 
being thought of?
