Joel, You may well be right. I'm no guru about this stuff, and I don't know much about the specifics of Gentoo runlevels. I don't emerge KDE or Gnome under any circumstances on my machines, and I'm not even sure if I have kdm. (Boy, I'm dumb!) ;-) My Gentoo machines get built with just a text type login and happily run nothing but fluxbox for X. This strategy works for me on my Gentoo machines, and works on my Redhat machines where 3, 4 & 5 are a bit different. Maybe I'm speaking out of school here. Sorry if I've not contributed.
