Urgh!!!

This would mean WAR y'know ;)

But seriously.. sometimes someone just prefers the gnome variant over 
the kde variant despite using KDE.

I can't say much about what should not be shown and what should: but 
definately don't hide GNOME applications. As for gnome-control-center, 
it should be shown too, unless you want to force the user to startup 
gnome just to change their settings (think themes and fonts).
