re-emerging kde

Hi,
I need to re-emerge my installed kde packages but I don't know the correct command to run : I tried 'emerge -p --update kde' but it adds packages I don't need.
So my question is : how do I know which kde packages are installed and how do I re-emerge only these ones ?

Thanks

PS : I've read emerge man pages but didn't find out.

There are two way I can think of...
First, you could do an:

emerge -e kde

which will install all of the packages you have installed that are in conjunction with kde. Or

emerge -ep world | grep kde

to see what kde packages you have installed and in what order you should reinstall them...
Hope this helps.

Thanks ! Exactly what I needed

If I reinstall these packages, will it reinstall the needed dependencies also ?
