It works the other way around: Availability of applications (via 
"Application Groups") can be activated depending on the active session 
profile. However, to control which profiles should be available, you go 
into Profile -> Profile list. For each profile, you can select if it 
should be available at all. Additionally, you have the "Test Command", 
where you can enter any shell command line. If it returns true, the 
profile will be available. The default configuration is that all profiles 
are available if the corresponding environment is installed. For example, 
the KDE profile has a test command of "type startkde", so it will be 
displayed if KDE is installed on the system (if the "startkde" command is 
found).
