[SOLVED] Remove Kubuntu-Desktop items added to Ubuntu 10.04

[joekolb24]

I added Kubuntu-Desktop components to my Ubuntu 10.04 system using Synaptic Pkg Mgr, with the mistaken expectation that I would then be able to toggle between Ubuntu and Kubuntu Desktops.
Of course, when adding Kubuntu-Desktop components, the dependencies feature brought in around 8 or 10 items.

I tried to undo all of this, but I fear I may have removed one or two Kubuntu named packages which may be part of the original Ubuntu installation.

Also there remains a gaggle of applications, such as Dolphin, KNetwork Mgr, Konqueror, just to name a few.

The two-fold question is, (1) “How can I get back as closely as possible, to my original, pure Ubuntu installation, short of a complete re-install; and (2) Is there a document out there which lists all of the packages that come standard with the Ubuntu installation.

At first I thought you were echoing my own question back to me. Then I realized that you had sent me a link. Your solution worked perfectly. Thanks so much.
