gnash is not only installed with KDE, from what I see as its
installation is triggerred by the desktop task, that's common to KDE
and GNOME, at least.

It is triggerred by "browser-plugin-gnash".

What do you suggest as alternative? I don't think it is a good idea to
not provide any flash-enabled web browser.
