-1 Flamebait.

Well, for starters, Ubuntu is gnome based, and I believe the Kubuntu
package just adds standard KDE bits onto the base so Gwenview is out
for starters.
It's always a lottery hoping you'll get your favourite application
included in the base distribution but, as per usual, gwenview is in
the repos, so it's only a Software Centre (or apt-get) away. You don't
mention any other "really great" apps, so I can't vouch for whatever
they might be.

I, for one, would rather keep anything that requires qt out of the
base distro, and anything dependent on actual KDE can go fish as far
I'm concerned.
