Exactly. I suspect it would affect the preferred apps, but since I'm using KDE 
and not Gnome, it's a moot point, and I fail to see why I should be forced to 
switch to Gnome just to change my preferred apps. Why does RedHat/Fedora (in 
their "infinite wisdom") assume everyone wants to run Gnome anyway, as it 
seems they do?
