  I would call that more an historical accident that a planned strategy.
Please don't forget as well gedit, gaim, gphoto...

  OTHO I use gwenview - Simple image viewer for KDE.

  The plan (and practice) for KDE 4 is not to add a k preffix in a gratuitous 
way. FWIW the only new project that I remember now that starts with k, for 
KDE 4, is KDE 4 itself. :-)

  Certainly the existing projects will retain their names, it would be foolish 
to do it otherwise, but please don't put intention where it is not.
