REVISION SUMMARY
  Desktop files such as kde/foo.desktop are identified as kde-foo.desktop
  because of the menu spec
  
    If the directory contains sub-directories then these sub-directories should be (recursively) scanned as well. The name of the subdirectory should be added as prefix to the desktop-file id together with a dash character ("-")
  
  the runner therefore broadly assumed that kde-foo.desktop is always
  the desktop file kde/foo.desktop and since kde/ was only used up to KDE3
  this assumption formed the basis for sepcial KDE3 compat handling. that is
  of course wrong because a service might just as well actually have a
  prefix and be actually called kde-foo.desktop rather than
  kde/foo.desktop. Specific example: kde-gtk-config.desktop
  
  seeing as this is ancient compatibility code that is actually wrong,
  the easiest solution seems to be dropping the code entirely (and thus no
  longer assume kde- has some special meaning).
  
  (also I didn't find a way to get the underlying filename of a kservice,
   so making the code not wrong seems non-trivial)
  
  CHANGELOG: the GTK+ settings module now correctly appears in krunner and kickoff

TEST PLAN
  gtk kcm correctly shows up in both kickoff and krunner searches
