Nothing bad about KDE, I switched between it and Gnome while using the Gentoo box as a desktop machine, but I’m uninstalling all graphical elements from the machine. It’s going to be just a headless server.
I think Xorg is easier to get rid of than the old XFree86, best not to have it on there. I this box is internet facing, you might want to remove the compilers, rootkits tend to depend on those.
I think I compile things with kde in gentoo, but I’ve yet to put the actual wm on. I’m still building the machine, but it’s gonna run mythtv so all I really need is x.org and QT.
I don’t know why KDE is so popular – every time I’ve used it I’ve found myself switching straight back to either Gnome or, if the fancy takes me, something more minimalist such as pekWM.
Did you just not use it any?
Oddly enough, more distros are starting to leave Gnome packages out of their packages.
(I always liked gnome better)
