I'm not familiar with aptitude. I just took a look at the man page, and 
it looks similar to apt-get. So, could one just type this?:

sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop

I assume that it deletes all the contents of the meta-package but 
nothing else, right? What if I installed (say) Konqueror separately 
before trying Kubuntu and I don't want to remove Konqueror? Do I have to 
install Konqueror again later?

Cheers,
Daniel.
