A little chuckle <ot>

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I too am rather new to Gentoo. Overall, it seems to work. kde-pim is part
of kdebase, and when I emerged kde it was installed. I have not played
with the zillions of USE variables. When looking at the ecuild for
kde-pim, it seems to only make reference to pim as a USE variable. Maybe
kpilot is in a different place. Things are different in kde3.1. For
example, kview no longer seems to so slideshows. That is now the domain of
kuickshow. So, it could be that kpilot is called something else.

Anyway, good luck!
