Agreed that it's an improvement to drop the Kthis, Kthat, but "Dragon player" sounds like a game not a media application. Just "Dragon" would be fine though. Given there is some talk of applications being listed with descriptions in the menu listings, the extra descriptiveness isn't needed: it is "just a name" after all..

If the menus go that way, we'll have: "Dragon Player (Movie Player)" ...which is a bit redundant...

Kopete Chatter (IM Client)
Konqueror Browser (Web Browser)
Kmail Emailer (Email Client)

See what I mean?

Looks good, name aside.

I think 'Dragon' itself is a good name, however the name is not that much of a problem. It is that Dragon by itself does not necessarily mean anything in terms of what the application can do, but I do not think a name should do that anyways. Consider how people of a given profession were addressed ever so long ago, a person could be "titled" John (Black)smith and while his name would 'John' his profession would be a blacksmith. The same could be applied here; the name is Dragon and the profession-if you will-is a media player so it could be titled Dragon media-player. That way people know what it does while giving it a unique name. Also for instances like the 'Kmenu' only the name would have to be displayed resulting in something like Dragon (Media Player) so no redundancy. :)
