I've noticed that top shows many different KDE processes running in a GNOME environment. Is this bad? Can I get GNOME to use mainly GNOME processes for these tasks?

The 'k' prefix actually doesn't refer to 'KDE', it refers to 'kernel'. Those are various kernel daemons meant for handling threads, ACPI, APIC, IRQ, etc. and cannot be killed.
