Some nice tools are well hidden in gentoo ;-) > I don't suppose you know how to go any further in terms of determining what > portion of kdemultimedia Rosegarden is actually using do you?

Guess: Maybe rosegarden is linked against a lib belonging to kdemultimedia. If this is the case ldd `which rosegarden` (or however the binary is called) shows the libs rosegarden is linked against. You can use etcat -b <path to lib> then to verify the suspicious libraries belong to kdemultimedia. Example (may be clearer ;-) ): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ldd `which kmail` libkhtml.so.4 => /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkhtml.so.4 (0x40000000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4b09a000) libkjs.so.1 => /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkjs.so.1 (0x4030f000) libpcreposix.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.0 (0x4ae8f000) libpcre.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x4ae79000) libkdeprint.so.4 => /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdeprint.so.4 (0x40382000) ...
