Removing a DE and some graphics issues

I uninstalled kdemod kde 4 and I'm still seeing some KDE apps like kchmviewer. Is there anyway to completely purge all KDE apps and libraries?

Also I'm having some problems with compiz fusion in gnome. The effects work fine but my wobbly windows are slow, maybe it has to do with my xorg.conf file, since I was using KDE 4:

Section "Module"
    Load           "dbe"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "xtrap"
    Load           "freetype"
EndSection

...

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "nVidia Corporation"
    BoardName      "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
#    Option        "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
#    Option        "TripleBuffer" "True"
    Option         "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Any change I should make to improve Compiz performance on Gnome?

Thanks for your time

Re: Removing a DE and some graphics issues

Just remove whichever packages you explicitly installed for kde(mod) using "pacman -Rs <pkg>". If you didn't include the "-s" flag, you may have some leftover dependencies. You can find them with "pacman -Qdt" and, if there's nothing in that list that you want to keep, you can remove them with "pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qqdt)".

If that still doesn't get rid of them, you can find which package an application belongs to with "pacman -Qo $(which <application>)" and then remove it.
