That's what I thought when starting to read the thread on k-c-d (I still have 
74 of them unread). And for the GNOME users among ours we put that menu item 
in long time ago. So I think we're in a (more or less) safe harbor this time. 
One idea just crossed my mind: can we detect if we run under a KDE DE and then 
don't show this option so it only there for those non-KDE DE users? This could 
even be done w/o a string change.
