Agreed.  My wife hates having tons of extra apps on her system
eating up both hard disk space and real estate in the 'K' menu.

I tried removing "KSirc", since she doesn't use GUI IRC clients
(I'm trying to get her to try out Konversation, though ;^) ),
but when I did, 'apt-get' responded with:

  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    kde kdenetwork ksirc

Uhhh...  /that's/ not what I want!!!  Looking at the package description
(this is Debian Testing, BTW), I see this line:

  This package is part of the official KDE network module.


Bah!  Neither of us use it or want it (no offense to the KSirc developers),
but it seems it's not easy to remove! :^(
