I think that's an absolutely terrible criterion to group things by. GTK+/GNOME
apps work fine under KDE, Qt/KDE apps work fine under GNOME. While for basic
tasks, there's usually both a KDE and a GNOME app (still I'd like the choice!
OnlyShowIn sucks!), for more advanced tasks there's often only one application,
and I think that's a good thing. It doesn't make sense to waste time rewriting
all applications in Qt/KDE for no reason other than "GNOME sucks"
(independently of whether that's true or not) or the opposite. So I think the
current "clutter" (as you call it), i.e. offering all applications in the same
menu, is the best solution.
