Why *wouldn't* a typical user want both Gnome and KDE apps on the main
menu? After all, if I've installed a spreadsheet, word processor,
browser, game, etc., I probably want to use it, no matter what my base
desktop might be. System utilities, of course, are a special case,
and it would be useful to have separate entries like
Gnome System/
KDE System/
All the best,
