And you're not the only one. Eventually, I will have to go hide

Good point.

Another thing crossed my mind: I think both could be removed from the kmenu 
without usability loss(or very little): When the user gets a ps/pdf document 
he/she doesn't go to the KMenu to find a suitable app, instead he/she judges 
from the icon displayed and clicks it(and the mimetype system takes over). 
"Context" based thinking instead of "toolbased"..
