Why might this be? I have a separate /home partition, would that be it, and can I get around it? I’m getting “command not found” for “$ sudo -s -H”. Why might this be?

I dunno... to uninstall did you try going to the add/remove programs and simply removing the kde apps?

The scripts (appears to) take all of your existing applications, and instructs the system to only show them in GNOME, then after the install, takes all of the new KDE applications and tells the system to only show them in KDE. What you've likely done is told the system to display your current apps in KDE, then tried to tell it to show all apps only in GNOME... Run the first script telling it to only show in KDE instead of GNOME, then install, find the GNOME equivalent, and run the second script modified to suit. I realise this comes a little late, but if you're still looking to try it out, you may still have all the GNOME packages cached...I think it only clears if you tell it to. Installation time should be much quicker :) I’m guessing you’d have to modify the scripts a bit, not just swap them around.

It didnt work :( Now i have a big mess of menus in BOTH environments. Anyone know the problem? I feel tempted to aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop now I dont like gnome that much anyway...just wanted to check it out. Thing is, it took absolutely AGES to install ubuntu-desktop so i feel wasteful if i remove it now... I'd be happy if I could jsut fix the menu thing :( I tried this with Kubuntu first…
