Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

With today's rename of gnome-control-center to "System Settings" (LP: #733234), Unity users who install Kubuntu will have a difficult time opening the Settings app from the Unity Dash as there will be two applications using the same icon and with the same System Settings name. See the attached screenshot. It is the second (out of 3 actually) icon that is the "real" gnome-control-center.

I believe the fix for this is to add a OnlyShowIn=KDE; line to systemsettings.desktop. This has the disadvantage of making it more difficult for Ubuntu users of KDE apps to configure KDE-wide configurations.

An alternative is to rename KDE's app as "KDE System Settings" or "Kubuntu System Settings".
