Gnome-desktop from Kubuntu

[Larry Hartman]

Hey I like these scripts....Im still learning the ropes and wish to understand 
the code better,exactly what do the commands 

grep -q OnlyShowIn=KDE $file

sudo su -c "echo 'OnlyShowIn=KDE' >> $file"

do to the files they process?



Also in this discussion overall....I have downloaded Ubuntu, then installed 
Kubuntu afterwards several times, I get KATE rather than GEDIT as default in 
my kubuntu.  Maybe just reinstalling (Adept: find package, right click, 
reinstall) Kubuntu-Desktop after you have installed Ubuntu-Desktop will take 
back the stuff that GNOME steals from KDE, such as KATE?
