The main problem about ubuntu-kubuntu (gmone-kde in ubuntu) is menu setup 
IMHO.
If you install kde the menu in kde looks nice, but awfull in gnome (no icons, 
many missing apps)... The same if you do the opposite: if you have Gnome 
installed and you add kde to the system, in kde you end up with almost 
useless menus.

What ubuntu-kubuntu is missing is a coordination of menu structure, and decide 
if:
1) use different menu layouts
2) use the same layout in kde and gnome putting everyrthing toghether
3) show a kde-menu submenu in gnome menu (and vice versa)
3) use the same layout, but disabling/hiding unuseful entries (kcontrol could 
be disabled in gnome menu)
4) use debian menu system to automatize the whole thing.

Anyway... I'm attaching my /etc/xdg/menu/applications.menu file.
It works well with kde. In gnome it is a proper mess!
