Well, does it really make sense to have GNOME, KDE, etc. categories if
we have OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn? I don't see how useful those categories
could be. I guess the idea was really to not have GNOME as in "Desktop
Environment" but as "using the GNOME platform", but I'm not sure if it's
really useful...
