  That would have been over 300 packages.  PASS.  ;-)  Kopete is part of the
kdenetwork package, so delaying it couldnt happen.  I didn't have any
control on that part, I don't believe.

  I did find the issue (which was retarded, btw)

  Apperently, kdelibs was either not installed, or needed to be recompiled.
I made a change to my use flags, to allow Qt to support opengl, and
reemerged qt3 and qt4.  kdelibs needed to be reemerged as well apperently,
as that solved the issue I was having.


If that's not possible (because, for instance, kopete is a *DEPEND),

  I have no idea what a PORTDIR_OVERLAY is.

If none of the these work, try putting "-kde" from your USE

  Die, thnx.  ;-)  Gnome is like a utopian communist society.
