Comment 7 for bug 735166

I agree it's a bug in something. It is quite unfortunate that Gnome knowingly chose to stomp on a namespace that was already in use. The something that it is a bug in is not KDE. Please leave it as invalid for kde-workspace.

We've discussed this among the Kubuntu developers and I've discussed it with the Ubuntu release team. The place to fix this is not in KDE. If you believe this is incorrect, the place to resolve this conflict within Ubuntu is with the Ubuntu Technical Board.

I definitely agree that upstream is the right place to solve this and I appreciate you bringing it to the KDE systemsettings maintainer's attention. In the meantime, I'm not sure how best to solve this, but having Kubuntu introduce a divergence from upstream is not the way.
