I don't think that these problems are generally the case. Are you saying
that you don't want to see some applications that are installed on the
system on the menu of some desktop environments because they're written for
a certain toolkit? (That is, no Gnome-targetted apps available in KDE?) Why
limit yourself like that?

Sure. You could do that.
Previously whenever I have tried to run multiple desktop environment themes
would get messed up like Chrome may pickup one theme and not the other and
things like that.
Let me give it another go and see if it works fine.
