Actually, I think that's Slackware's fault. It includes the kdelinks package, which includes links for many non-KDE apps that would be installed during a full installation. It's basically a time saver so that the user who doesn't know about kappfinder won't have to edit the menu for several dozen apps. I suspect CollegeLinux merely copied over the package.
