You mentioned an error, so I was telling you how to deal with the error. You 
got it because arts is not installed, or does not have all the dependencies. 
Though you don't have 'KDE' installed, you may have many parts of it. Likely 
kdelibs and kdebase, or parts of them anyway if you are running amarok. As 
well as parts of kdenetwork. Having 'KDE' installed is much like 
having 'Gnome' installed. There are many big parts and you can have some 
small parts, but not the whole installed. You may not have the desktop 
environment, but I bet if you have amarok installed, you probably have a few 
other kde apps you don't realize.

1) You wont lose much functionality, if any.
2) Not really, freedesktop is working towards moving freely between desktops.
3) gtop, mem
