Title:
  Duplicate System Settings &  System Monitor in Gnome/Unity

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

  With today's rename of gnome-control-center to "System Settings" (LP:
  #733234), Unity users who install Kubuntu will have a difficult time
  opening the Settings app from the Unity Dash as there will be two
  applications using the same icon and with the same System Settings
  name. See the attached screenshot. It is the second (out of 3
  actually) icon that is the "real" gnome-control-center.

  I believe the fix for this is to add a OnlyShowIn=KDE; line to
  systemsettings.desktop. This has the disadvantage of making it more
  difficult for Ubuntu users of KDE apps to configure KDE-wide
  configurations.

  An alternative is to rename KDE's app as "KDE System Settings" or
  "Kubuntu System Settings".

  This problem also exists for System Monitor except that the Gnome
  System Monitor is the first choice, not the second one.
