I've been using KDE for a long time, for reasons that are no longer

I use gnome happily at work, both on Fedora and Ubuntu. All I need
from any of them is a panel with some favorites, and a pager for
multiple desktops.
I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation
toolchains or in a browser.
The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from
running out of disk space. A little research showed that an
odd-sounding thing called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in
some dotfiles. It turns out to be a KDE client - whatever that is.
I've got a lot of space here and there, but my /home partition was
never near full before.
Put "-semantic-desktop" in your make.conf. emerge -auDN world.
emerge -a --depclean. That should do it.
Is that even possible? Won't a number of KDE apps demand the
semantic-desktop use flag set?
For KDE 4.4, +semantic-desktop is mandatory, though you can still turn
off the services after installing them.
Honestly, for what the OP appears to need out of a desktop environment,
he'd be more than happy with Xfce or something and save a ton of disk
space.
How do you know what he needs? He probably wants KDE but without the
whole "Semantic Desktop" thingy.
he wrote:
Thanks. My having research work with a few hundred thousand small files
and a couple of terrabytes of storage and backups could account for the
size. Some occasional sluggishness too. It makes no sense to index any
of this, so ditching it feels good.
and semantic-desktop was developed to help people with such workloads.
I don't understand your reply or what it answers.
because you haven't read the thread before you wrote your email?
Yeah, I'm the one who suggested the OP needs semantic desktop even
though he clearly stated he doesn't:
"It makes no sense to index any of this, so ditching it feels good."
Perhaps it's a language barrier. I'll state it in simpler words: The
OP does not want to index any of his files. He wants to disable that
functionality. He has not indicated that he wants to switch from KDE to
something else.
OK, another poster then showed up and suggested that he needs something
other than KDE. That didn't make any sense since the OP is using KDE
and just wants the indexing stuff gone, which is what I pointed out.
Then you come along with the statement as a reply to it:
"and semantic-desktop was developed to help people with such workloads."
which doesn't make any sense with the flow of the discussion. Semantic
desktop was invented for that, but the OP clearly stated he doesn't want it.
I am not the one who doesn't read the thread before writing my email.
