If that were the reason, there would be binary packages of KDE, which takes longer to build than OOo, GNOME and XOrg. There are binary packages of OOo, Firefox ad Thunderbird because upstream provide them. They are not built with Gentoo in mind so may not even be ideally suited to even a bog-standard "from stage 3" system. -- Neil Bothwick Never ask a geek why, just nod your head and slowly back away
