While I agree that the name isn't probably as "correct" as it could be and it's probably shaped more by what sounds more catchy to the media than what the project constituents really work on, it does accurately represent the project's aims.

Companies and organizations supporting today's announcement include ArkLinux, CodeWeavers, Debian.org, DesktopLinux.com, KDE, Linux Professional Institute (LPI), Lycoris, The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP), MandrakeSoft, NeTraverse, OpenOffice.org, Questnet (Support4Linux.com), Samba.org, theKompany, SuSE, TransGaming Technologies, TrustCommerce, Xandros, and Ximian.

As you can see from this quote from the press release, it's not just KDE and GNOME, it's about several organizations working together towards getting good desktop-oriented technologies and apps out there for for deployment with Linux distributions.
