The technical solution to this is to add something like
<Not><Category>KDE</Category></Not> to each menu where KDE should be
excluded from.
However, I cannot see where and when the principal question whether or not
the menus should be desktop centric or desktop agnostic, so to say, has
been discussed, not to mention resolved.
>From the end users point of view, there is not reason to exclude, say,
quanta from the "Development" menu just because it uses a different
toolkit. They should not have to care. So I would definitely say that
"real" KDE apps should be visible in the appropriate GNOME menus.
The situation is different with all those little tools which whom KDE
seems to be absolutely bloated - KCron, KDat, KDiskFree, KGet, KWikDisk,
Kview, Ksnapshot, Kruler, KColorChooser and the like. Those which
duplicate GNOME functionality should definitely be excluded from the GNOME
menu (they will still be accessible from the Debian menu) There is no need
to link both Synaptic /and/ Kpackage or Kuser /and/ users-admin.
And, well, I wonder if stuff like a povray modeller /really/ needs to be
included in a core KDE install.
In either case, the current situation is not sustainable.
Thanks,
Johannes
