Now that kpackagekit exists, isn't it the Gnome maintainers team who
have to keep the gpk-update-icon out off the way, ie, by putting
"NotShowIn=KDE;" in their desktop file? I've added this line and
gpk-update-icon no longer shows up. Is there a situation where KDE is
installed and kpackagekit isn't?
