Description
Currently, desktop managers display composefs as a full partition. We need to somehow teach them to hide the size bar there to not alarm users. Should happen both on KDE and Gnome. Pictures below.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; it only identifies composefs as being displayed as a full partition by KDE and GNOME. First identify the integration points responsible for those desktop displays, then determine how both environments can hide the composefs size bar and verify that neither desktop manager shows it.
