Because of the above foolishness regarding LTS releases, I merely booted into 
Gnome which is otherwise never used around here, performed the 8.04 to 10.04 
upgrade and then rebooted into my new Kubuntu 10.04.  There never should have 
been any part of an LTS release not really a LTS part.  It just confuses users 
and causes bad mouthing of the product.  It is only a good way to drive away 
users.
