	Ok, that did not work; I think somehow the previous build of gdkpixbuf 
was corrupted or the package was incomplete -- during the "make" stage 
there were lots of "file not found" type errors involving (IIRC) 
xs/GtkWhatever files.  I did remember about using "script" to capture all 
the output this time, but I'm not going to post it unless somebody really 
wants to see it.  :)
	I found the solution, or work-around, in the same forum thread you 
pointed out -- use "emerge '<gdk-pixbuf-0.20.0'" to install an earlier 
version.  Everything went smoothly after version 0.18.0 was installed... 
well, up until the drive filled up.  It seems the recommended 1.5GB (I 
thought I was being generous with 2GB) is not enough if you are building 
an entire system including KDE from source.  :)

	Anyway, after removing a bunch of archives from .../portage/distfiles, I 
was able to finish building KDE.  That reminds me -- from which 
directories may I safely remove files?  I figure removing the distfiles 
is safe because emerge will just grab them again if needed, but there is 
over 50MB of stuff in locale/... I guess I need to fix things so only one 
or two languages are built.
