noatun is part of the multimedia package, and might have used kde-noatun
as a .desktop file name at some point (likely the pre-14.0 days).

That being said, test 9 is a raw grep being performed on an XML file.  This 
means that it could easily be latching onto something in a comment, because 
following the full XML spec for determining whether a given line is inside a 
comment or not using a simple text-matching tool is . . . well, let's say it isn't 
something I'd want to try, and I deal in regexes a fair amount in my day job.
It really needs to be run through a full parser that constructs a DOM tree.

The command in test 9 (slightly modified to remove a variable) is:
grep "<Filename>kde-" "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu"

If that still shows any hits, it should be possible to sed them to death
(or kedit them to death, if that's your preference).
