Description Stefaan De Roeck (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-29 14:20:32 UTC
To successfully change my keyboard layout, I had to emerge x11-apps/setxkbmap manually.  It seems that this dependency was removed in kde-base/kdebase-4.0.0 on purpose, but I can't see why.  
In the modular ebuild, it was pulled in by kde-base/kxkb, which doesn't exist anymore.  I don't know which modular package I should suggest to do this in 4.0.0.

We've removed dependencies we couldn't find the cause for. But you are correct. It should be a run-time dependency.
