Get rid of the "K" thing in app names

Description:

Ok, I get the feeling that KDE 4 is going to try to be a lot more profesional than the last releases. So i'm just going to say it:

Can we drop the "K" things in applications???

Some examples:

Amarok- good
Knotes- Bad, should just be "Notes"

Krita- Ok
Ksnapshot- bad, should just be "Snapshot"

Basket- Good
Kword- Bad, should just be "Word"

 OSS names

Opera? Xine? Konqueror? If you didn't know what they did, you would never be able to guess from the name.

Kolourpaint? It paints and the programs has the look and feel of my kde desktop.

Simple as that. Descriptive names. Open Source needs simple names like this that tell you something about the program.

Why not just colorpaint? that is very dull. VERY.

 Kword to be Word?

Boy, if Kword were to lose the K, I believe we would be hearing some legal threats from the Ballmer Boy. Besides, K is what makes KDE Kool. ;)

When you got them hanging on the meat hook, they'll tell you everything.

 Bad Idea

The 'K' also helps identify that a program is KDE-compatible. Gnome already has a "snapshot" program, and if it weren't for the 'K' in "KSnapshot," life would be considerably more confusing.

Yes, names like Ksomething look bad. But I love the names with C/Q replaced by K.
