Your embarrassment triggered my curiousity ;o)
I see machines running Mac OSX as you describe in Places->Network when
on my corporate network. After some experimentation, I discovered that
those machines displayed are the ones that are advertising "SFTP
Transfer Service" via mDNS.
Assuming you've got avahi-daemon running and your local firewall
isn't denying it, try creating this file and see if your machines show
up as you expect:
[sam@work services]$ cat /etc/avahi/services/sftp.service
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_sftp-ssh._tcp</type>
<port>22</port>
</service>
</service-group>
Now what the difference is between Gnome and KDE, I don't know. Gnome
seems to only be showing things that are in the "local" mDNS domain and
advertising SFTP.
