You should have started with Kubuntu in the first place....

Then after installing it, if you don't like the Kubuntu flavor of KDE
you can...

	$ sudo apt-get install kde

That will install the rest of KDE (Kubuntu leaves a *lot* out) or the
various KDE metapackages and/or individual KDE apps that suit your needs.

Then to get KDE acting like the KDE you know and love, you need to
follow these directions...

And after that.....

$ sudo apt-get install gtk-app-of-your-choice

This is probably too late, but I figured someone else might find it
useful down the road.
