So then... um brings me back full circle, is this an issue worth filing 
something about, or is it expected behaviour/known issue that one day 
will change whenever the underlying tools gain that ability and I can 
patiently wait for that day?

I'm happy either way. I was just surprised to see a NetworkManager-gnome 
in the KDE desktop group... since I installed it to see what 4.x was 
like and then didn't like a million new apps in my menu so want... 
anyway who cares why. Do I leave enough alone, or file a bug/feature 
request with my wonderfully conceived new flag/parameter for 
groupremove. I'm sure it'll be so loved it'll make the front page of 
slashdot... ;)
