Talk:KDE

"USE flags", "Kernel settings" sections
I don't like these parts of the guide, because the instructions are not complete: The text say, that you should follow the linked articles, but then the USE flag and kernel instructions are redundant.
 * Missing kernel options (see udev)
 * Missing configuration like starting init.d scripts at boot

Also the instructions have to be maintained, which is a duplication of work.

So I purpose to just link the articles and remove the instructions in this guide, e.g.:

Services
Before you install KDE SC it is recommended that you set up several services. Part of that is done automatically if you use a desktop/kde or desktop profile. In detail you should use:
 * ConsoleKit: Enables the consolekit framework for defining and tracking users, login sessions and seats.
 * D-Bus: Enables use of the dbus message bus system.
 * polkit: Enables the polkit framework for controlling privileges for system-wide services.
 * udev: Enables support for udev Linux dynamic and persistent device naming.
 * udisks: Enables support for some storage related services.

Follow the links for information how to set up these services. Note that other USE flag combinations than set in this profile may technically be possible (especially if you do not run a full KDE DE but only selected applications), but may be unsupported, untested, or lead to unexpected loss of functionality.
