presenting two media players next to each other on the kmenu which initially 
appear to do exactly the same job is hardly helpful to the user. noatun 
appears to be designed to be started from the kmenu. kaboodle appears to be 
designed primarily with being started from konq/embedding (i.e. as quick file 
handler).

would you ever want to start kaboodle from the kmenu? from your description of 
kaboodle, what it does and what it's used for, starting it from the kmenu 
seems pointless.

having it on the kmenu next to noatun with no descernable difference of 
description just confuses me (and probably other users).

in the magician's voice of "pick a card any card":
"pick a media player, any media player".
