I would expect only "very-gnome" items to be under GNOME. That's the
panel, nautilus, capplets, applets.

The end user may not care that gedit is developed by the gnome project -
it's a text editor, an app, and should be under Applications in the same
place as kedit, emacs, kate and so on. Same job, same place.
