Sure there is. On a multi-user system, KDE users are likely to prefer the
KDE layout, and Gnome users the Gnome layout.

And what also sucks badly is when one desktop is installed in /usr
and one isn't. Distro packaging accidents are not administrator policies,
and changing someone's menu because a desktop they're not even using
got installed is rather impolite.
