Since it all seems to be an April's joke, how about the KDE
people change _their_ program names so as to

(1) not confuse kernel people [kwin -> kdewin]
     since apparently, GNOME does it more than just right
     (who would have thought! "gnome-control-center" is a perfect name,
     "gcontrolcenter" would have been acceptable too, but "gcc" would not.)

and

(2) not look like they did not know the English language.
     [kontact,kolf,kompare -> contact,golf,compare]

     Some are valid in German though [kalzium,konsole] and KDE does
     seem to have strong .de ties, so I let these go through.
