This was one of my biggest gripes about Kubuntu - I haven't seen it
recently.  If it didn't show up, it's because the .desktop file
_specifically_ says it's not to be shown.  So if you have package "x", look
for /usr/share/applications/kde/x.desktop, or something similar, and
comment out the line:
        NoDisplay=true

And then file a bug report :-)
