The ratio of contributions from cannibalism and from cooling flows to the final cD galaxies in diverse clusters seems to be different. It should be determined by some general cluster properties as for instance the central mass concentration. Assuming that mass distribution is tantamount to luminosity distribution we have analyzed the question of possible luminosity segregation in the radial galaxy distribution of galaxy clusters (Baier & Schmidt 1992; Baier & MacGillivray 1994).
