Just not while you're in X. :)

All these dependancies made me dizzy, so before going on an upgrade spree
I did exactly that, pkg_delete'd all my old X junk (including KDE).  KDE
3.1 has now been building for over 24 hours.  I'd forgotten how huge it
is.  On the bright side, pkgdb -F is returning with no complaints.

All in all, 4.3.0 is looking wonderful here.
