Unity Fails After Installing KDE (Ubuntu 11.10)

[jmadero]

Hi All,

Decided to try out the latest release of KDE from the repos in Ubuntu 11.10. It's seems to have broken Unity, when I log in to my user now with unity the unity bar doesn't come up and the top bar has nautilus options (or something similar to nautilus options). I can't access any of my applications, I also can't do alt+f2 to run anything. Any ideas? I would much rather have Unity working correctly than be stuck using KDE (which I am still not much of a fan for). Thanks in advance, hoping that I don't have to reinstall

I'm not really sure if this will work, but have you tried removing all components of KDE to see if that would fix it for you?
I found this, if you want to try that: Getting Back to a Pure Gnome on Ubuntu

Apparently something screwed up a folder in my ~/.gconf/apps folder. I'm not positive what yet but after chaning the apps folder to apps.backup I now have full functionality again....very strange, going to play with KDE and see if it happens again so I can head over to launchpad to bug report. Thanks for the link though, I very well might be removing kde completely as it's just not doing it for me....too much like windows
