    To hide banshee from the menu's in KDE you'll need to change the desktop file to only show the menu item in Unity/Gnome

    mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/banshee.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

    Edit the file ~/.local/share/applications/banshee.desktop

    Add to the bottom of this file

    OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;

    Save.

    However the above only hides banshee. To prevent banshee from starting in KDE you'll need to edit the banshee executable script

    sudo nano /usr/bin/banshee

    now add the following at the position shown:

    if [ x"$KDE_FULL_SESSION" = x"true" ]; then
  exit
fi
