It's not a Linux thing, it's a unix thing.  

It actually follows a pretty long history of naming programs. So you
know, for instance screensaver is for the command line, and xscreensaver
is for X-Window.  KDE and Gnome people just follow that naming
convention.  

That said, for some reason, some English speaking people has a bug up
their ass when it comes to the letter K.  As a Norwegian speaker, the K
letter actually is more 'normal' than the G letter. Like Kontact would
probably be translated to Kontakt in Norwegian
