If you have first installed Ubuntu, you have "ubuntu-desktop" installed 
already. That is the meta package which depends on all the stuff that 
makes up the Gnome version. OTOH, I suppose you meant to write "kubuntu-
desktop" (with the k at the beginning) because that is the one that 
includes all the KDE stuff.

You don't need to swap desktops if you want to run KDE applications in 
Gnome or vice versa. At the login screen you can select your preferred 
desktop no matter which applications you want to run. The login manager 
should even remember which desktop you prefer and choose that one next 
time unless you change it manually.
