Yes, you did. But failing to twist your way out, you just WISH you didn't.

That is because so many here erroneously use the phrase "Gnome 3" to 
refer to the "Gnome 3 Shell".  Unity, Gnome 3 Shell, Kubuntu, and 
Xubuntu all sit on top of Gnome 3.  Several other distros dirivative of 
Ubuntu also, obviously, use Gnome 3 (not the Shell).  Also, Mint has two 
Debian based distros that use Gnome 3, but use XFCE or Cinnamon for the 
desktop.  SolusOS  currently ships Gnome 2 and has begun development on 
a Gnome2  exact lookalike, but sitting on top of Gnome 3.

Aw...OK.  I'll do your homework for you just this once:

1) You must actually install Kubuntu.
2) Click on Muon Package Manager
3) Type GTK into search.

There it is...a complete Gnome installation within a Kubuntu installation.
