I suppose you got the idea by now ;-) Do you need dev-lang/R? If not,
then "emerge -pv --depclean dev-lang/R". Do you need the package(s)

something that has no other dependencies; meaning you reached the top
level. Do you need *that*? If not, unmerge it, then depclean
everything (just "emerge -a --depclean".)
This should get rid of all stuff you don't actually need/want.
Well, that leads back to KDE. So, looks like it stays.
And KDE wants Fortran because you have that USE flag enabled in
make.conf :-D
Well, it appeared to only affect gcc here. We all know I have to have
that.
GCC is a compiler collection. You usually only need gcc and g++.
Fortan, Objective-C, Objective-C++, ADA, Pascal, Java, whatever else
is usually something you don't install unless you know you need it.
But gcc is the one that got rebuilt when I changed the USE flag. So, it
needs it because the other package needs it and in the end, KDE needs
all that stuff. So, the flag is added and I guess it is needed by
something I want to keep. Sort of like my GUI and all. ;-)
I'm on KDE too, and it doesn't need it. Probably because my make.conf
explicitly says "-fortran" in it.
