Sorry. I had only in mind dropping x11-wm/xwmm, it didn't even occur to me to go after all of qt23 and dependent apps! Now that idea is brought up, it does seem like a good one. I don't follow the kde-ports mail list so probably I am not the best one to handle asking them what they think. If no one else wants to tackle this, I'll give it my best shot. I do want to monitor their mail list for a few days first. The only thing I really intended to do was clear up one little problem reported at http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/ports@freebsd.org.html So I am going ahead and submitting a PR to eliminate x11-wm/xwmm unless anyone has an objection.
