Uhm. You don't install software in the account, you install it on the
machine. When you install the software from the standard repositories
(whether it's KDE or GNOME based apps) it makes it available for
anyone to use. That's why you see all the KDE apps on the GNOME menu,
because other users might want that software too.

Look bloated? It's just links in a menu. The software has already
"bloated" your disk by installing all the libs for kde on it.

They're just links in a menu. You could edit the menu with the menu
editor "smeg" and remove the links to the apps. It wont stop the apps
being there though, and the gnome user could easily start them from
the command line too.
