Public bug reported:

This is a duplicate of #600538, but since I couldn't find a way to re-
open that bug...

This is happening for me in 13.10, but a commenter on that ticket
suggests it was even a regression as of 12.04

kdiff3-qt does not provide a desktop file. The desktop file provided in
the kde variant has some special parameters in the Exec= part which seem
to confuse gnome, at least it does not start while this parameters are
there.

And last, Categories are missing completely inside the desktop file.

I derived a new desktop file from the provided one which works on gnome
and puts kdiff3 under category development.

** Affects: kdiff3 (Ubuntu)
