Thanks.

I'm aware of this behaviour. I had talked to the Gnome guys, and was
hoping that they would fix it upstream, but they didn't.
Stephan Kulow said the use of /usr/share/apps by KDE was an arbitrary
decision on his part, and he was willing to move it in his packages.
I told him not to move it, because I though Gnome was going to move
theirs (which didn't happen). I'll have to do some more research on
this issue to decide what to do next.

I'll look into it. It might not get fixed right away however.
Remember, Gnome is still under very active development, so don't
expect bug-free software at this point.
