Subject: Removing gnome-desktop question
We have someone with a laptop dual booting XP and Kubuntu. In order
to work the Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Training course we used adept to
install gnome-desktop. That was a mistake with nasty consequences.
We should have installed ubuntu-desktop. If we use adept to remove
gnome-desktop, it does not remove the dependencies which were loaded
to support it. If we use adept to search for all gnome elements and
mark all for removal, it would remove elements used/needed by KDE.

Looking at some man pages, I am thinking "sudo apt-get remove
gnome-desktop autoremove" (or some variation) might work but am
reluctant to just try it. Anyone know for sure?
