They both have the same icon, but one is called "kde partition manager" while the other just " partition manager". They are the same except for slightly different UIs. There is no reason to have two PMs installed by default because it is redundant.

To that extent it would perhaps make sense to simply not show the application menu entry inside kde workspaces. At any rate not a downstream issue.

I was excpecting to find a patch in the Kubuntu source package modifying this, but that does not appear to be the case. Still, I too have the KCM installed on Kubuntu 12.04 (and I agree with illumilore that the KCM is unnecessary and redundant; it's also giving a wrong impression of what KDE Partition Manager can do because its UI is dumbed down). Harald, why is this? What am I missing?

Rather silly chain of events there. As upstream, what will you have me do? Disable it?

Please disable it, it's not useful above the application itself and the reportes is right about it being confusing.
