After having enough of the artsd "100% CPU usage" dialog message bug (which is
helped along by the buggy kernel USB bandwidth code BTW) I turned off the arts
flag in make.conf:
USE="3dnow acl apache2 audiofile blas bzip2 curl doc dts
dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread exif flac ffmpeg fftw gd
gimp gimpprint glut gtkhtml guile idn imagemagick jack java joystick
ladcca lcms mbox mmx mng nocd nptl nptlonly nsplugin openal
posix postgres povray ppds rtc samba scanner
sockets sox sse svga tcltk tetex theora tiff usb v4l v4l2
win32codecs wmf xanim xine xinerama xvid -arts -gpm -oss"
And then did emerge --newuse world to recompile KDE without arts. Most of KDE
is able to compile without arts. Unfortunately, it appears kemistry still has a
dependency on this buggy audio server. Here's the build log followed by the
emerge info:

Why on earth a periodical table viewer would demand an audio server I cannot
fathom. In any case, it's probably an upstream bug, but shouldn't the ebuild
show a dependency or a block on artsd or something and not just die during
compilation?
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your bug report! kemistry does indeed depend on
aRts and I've added this dependency to the ebuild.
Why it needs aRts I don't know. Looking at the project
webpage it seems like upstream hasn't been too active :(
I'll see if I can get a hold of somebody and inquire
about it.
Thanks,
Markus
