Many of the Categories are wrong in /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde files by not including a main category, but only an additional category. For example all settings for individual kcontrol preference launches (like Exec=kcmshell desktopbehaviour) have a X-KDE-settings-* category, but no Settings main category. All the non-conformant Category lines can be found out with the following command: grep -h Categories /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/* |sort|uniq |grep -Pv 'AudioVideo|Audio|Video|Development|Education|Game|Graphics|Network|Office|Settings|System|Utility' Or a list of all the desktop files that are non-conformant: grep Categories /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/* |grep -Pv 'AudioVideo|Audio|Video|Development|Education|Game|Graphics|Network|Office|Settings|System|Utility' |cut -d: -f1 Because they don't define a "Settings" category they show up in GNOME "Other" submenu, which is less than ideal. However, after adding a Settings category, they simply get moved to GNOME preferences menu, which is also not so good as they get mixed with GNOME ones. For that I propose to introduce a KDE category under preferences (in gnome-menus) where all the KDE-Settings-* are gathered into, however ideal might be to not show them at all and only show the big kcontrol menu entry? This bug is atm at a discussion level, so please share your view on this matter

Well, if you don't want to see them in Gnome at all you can just stick OnlyShowIn=KDE; in there (doable by a quick eclass hack) but I personally dislike this idea. :)
This is an old one, and since noone was intrested in this i'll close it :) Just for the record, i think we should let upstream handle those issues. I like that Gentoo provides almost vanilla GNOME and KDE and i don't want this to be changed
