${PORTDIR}/profiles/base/use.defaults:
(...)
qt3                                     x11-libs/qt
(...)

What if I haven't installed qt-3* and have installed qt-4*? Portage will enforce me to install qt-3*.

(Nothing suggested.)

$ find /usr/portage/profiles -name make.defaults -exec  grep -l cairo {} \;
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/alpha/2006.1/desktop/make.defaults
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop/make.defaults
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop/make.defaults

$ grep udev /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults
udev                            sys-fs/udev

Suggested adding
(...)
cairo                           x11-libs/cairo
(...)
to {PORTDIR}/base/use.defaults.
Suggested globalizing of cairo and udev USE flags.

What do you think about adding line
qt4                                     x11-libs/qt
to ${PORTDIR}/profiles/base/use.defaults?

use.defaults is dead

Still unfixed.

========================================================================
Newr KOffice wersions depend unconditionally on media-libs/openexr and openexr USE flag is used by enough amount of packages, so openexr USE flag should be global.

This bug is resolved enough for me.
