Good catch,  the apps-menu doesn't currently honor the OnlyShowIn and 
NotShowIn fields at the moment, this is something I plan on adding in 
shortly.  This would require a check to see if, for example, KDE is 
currently running or not, any suggestions as to that are welcome.

I'll look into the options in respect to that to see if we can get 
something working.  In the same vein, I'd like to be able to check 
which, if any, DE is running when the apps-menu is generated in order to 
give more appropriate menu entries, especially for KDE, but also for Gnome.
