Ideas?

just deactivate it.
But one thing surprises me - I have 400gb of data in /home. And nepomuk just
needs 600mb...
Okay, but I don't really know what it is, let alone how to deactivate it.* I'll search around.
Thanks.

In my case, on the same page, I disabled Strigi also.

Thanks.* My having research work with a few hundred thousand small files and a couple of terrabytes of storage and backups could account for the size.* Some occasional sluggishness too.* It makes no sense to index any of this, so ditching it feels good.
For anyone else in the same boat, I would amend the instructions thus:
I've been using KDE for a long time, for reasons that are no longer
important to me. I have remained out of pure inertia.
I use gnome happily at work, both on Fedora and Ubuntu. All I need from
any of them is a panel with some favorites, and a pager for multiple
desktops.
I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation
toolchains or in a browser.
The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from
running out of disk space. A little research showed that an
odd-sounding thing called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in some
dotfiles. It turns out to be a KDE client - whatever that is. I've got
a lot of space here and there, but my /home partition was never near
full before.
Put "-semantic-desktop" in your make.conf. emerge -auDN world. emerge
-a --depclean. That should do it.

Is that even possible? Won't a number of KDE apps demand the semantic-desktop use flag set?

Just tried it, and the following apps are being recompiled right now:
[ebuild R ] kde-base/pykde4-4.3.5-r1 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/gwenview-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/akonadi-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] net-wireless/kbluetooth-0.4.2 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/dolphin-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kmail-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kdeplasma-addons-4.3.5 USE="-semantic-desktop*"
Let's see if it works.

there was a recent discussion about this on this mailing list:*http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_13c6d27e4216e91ed3c4800fe42b8e95.xml
it seems only Kmail needs that USE flag. I also haven't tried this on my system.
