Dan,

I appreciate your reply. I realize that maybe this is the wrong forum to 
be asking this question since it is really a gentoo/KDE specific 
question, but I can't find the answer elsewhere. I was hoping that 
someone could point me to the proper links if they exist.
In a follow-up to the above post I sent the following:

***
I installed gnome-base/libglade and then networkmanager needed 
gnome-base/gnome-keyring.
Following this path brings in most of gnome.

Am I trying to travel down a road that has not been plowed yet?
***

If I emerge gnome-keyring, then networkmanager wants libpanelapplet-2.0, 
which brings in the gnome desktop.
I expected the combination of kde-misc/knetworkmanager and 
net-misc/networkmanager to use some gnome-specific libs but not bring in 
the entire desktop. Is this a gentoo/portage issue?
Again, am I trying to travel down a road that has not been plowed yet?
