| Make sure you install ubuntu-desktop, then; it depends on synaptic,
| so if synaptic was out, then it was out as well. As there are new
| dependencies of ubuntu-desktop in Hoary (with regards to Warty),
| you might be missing something new if you left ubuntu-desktop out.

| Note: make sure to check whether installing ubuntu-desktop won't
| uninstall anything from your computer. If you're missing ubuntu-desktop,
| then most probably you installed something that conflicted with it (or
| one of its dependencies); if this is still true for Hoary, Synaptic will
| try to uninstall that thing when installing ubuntu-desktop.

Thanks Guys.  The package ubuntu-desktop wasn't installed.  But I'd just
done 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' so I should be good now.

I'll experiment more in the morning.
