<apachelogger> it probably would be best to have the desktop file say NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME; I suppose
<lex79> yes
<apachelogger> and I think that the desktop entry spec should be enhanced to take running processes into account
<apachelogger> so you can go: show the knm menu entry UNLESS knm is running, same for klipper and krandrtary, and same here
<apachelogger> run that nice xscreensaver unless another screensaver is running

I do however believe that the currently applied fix is proper and good seeing as it is what is applied in Debian. Also there is no 100% proper solution to this anyway, even a notshowin would not take into account that you can run KDE and GNOME without their associated screensaver implementations.
