Yes you heard, I’ve dropped the K from my application name. Also I renamed the old Gamefu of mine to “Gamefu/SDL”. This is only to avoid binary and package clash, as someone could have packaged both applications(did something did package Gamefu/SDL ?, I doubt it). Anyway Gamefu/SDL is dead, there are no futher updates, though it looked damn cool. Look for Gamefu/SDL screenshots at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=126940
Kamefu/Gamefu is now found in KDE SVN in:
/trunk/playground/games/gamefu
This the reasons I gave on the Kamefu mailing-list:
Some KDE projects recently renamed their project to remove the emphasis on the famous “K”. like amaroK
who become Amarok and oKular->Okular.
Also all the new KDE projects for KDE4 doesn’t have the K in their name:
Plasma, Oxygen, Solid, Phonon, Decidel.
So here is the advantages of the rename:
-The new name without the K gives us a “think different” philosophy from
traditional KDE apps names.
-Cooler name and more powerful brand.
-The name is also more clear about the purpose of the program, to play
games 
-Give us a nice name ready for KDE4.
The Gamefu name doesn’t mean that the application is not a KDE application anymore,
it will be always a KDE application because KDE and kdelibs rocks.

Actually, i liked the K in the names, it made it much easier to distinguish a QT from a GTK app, although the K at the beginning usually was troublesome when you wanted to find certain app in the menus, if it was part of the name by replacing a c/q/g, was ok.
Also, by replacing the K for a G, although as you say, the name does indeed stick better with the Gaming All-M… it seems a GTK name…
