xset is not automatically emerge'd when X or KDE is installed.

startkde gives some complaints about xset: command not found but still starts

[Comment 1 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-07-03 05:30:11 UTC]

xset is indeed a dep of kdebase-startkde, which provides startkde.  

what version(s) do you have installed?

Sounds like virtual/x11 is installed.

[Comment 4 Toralf Förster 2006-07-03 10:30:44 UTC]

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ equery -C list -i x11
[ Searching for package 'x11' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] virtual/x11-7.0-r2 (0)
[I--] [  ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 (0)

I upgraded from x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 to x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 vie "emerge -auD world"

[Comment 5 Peng Zhang 2006-07-28 23:48:08 UTC]

So because of RDEPEND="$RDEPEND
    || ( (
            x11-apps/xmessage
            x11-apps/xsetroot
            x11-apps/xset
            x11-apps/xrandr
            x11-apps/mkfontdir
        ) <virtual/x11-7 )
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kdesktop)
$(deprange 3.5.0 $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kcminit)
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/ksmserver)
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kwin)
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kpersonalizer)
$(deprange 3.5.0 $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kreadconfig)
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/ksplashml)"

and <virtual/x11-7 does not hold. emerge -k supposely should emerge x11-apps/xmessage x11-apps/xsetroot x11-apps/xset x11-apps/xrandr x11-apps/mkfontdir, but it didn't on my computer. Am I missing something?

Maybe there was an issue with this particular Portage version. The dependencies get installed fine here. When this is still issue for you, reopen please.
