How about this? Instead of the usual bland "KControl" or "Gnome Control (whatever)" menu entry, put in a more descriptive "Configure KDE programs" or "Configure Gnome applications". This is likely to confuse users no more than an entry for "Configure Desktop." Note that some Debian-shipped window managers, like fluxbox or Widowmaker, already don't have a a KDE or Gnome menu. You might also consider looking toward Redhat's unified desktop scheme (Redhat 8.0 psyche) which had some KDE hackers seeing red.
