It was actually easier than I thought. I dunno if this is Ubuntu 101 for
you guys but I discovered a neat trick in synaptic... You can sort on the
first column to effectively bring up a list of all installed programs, then
I just scrolled down to those beginning kde and selected them all and
uninstalled. Hey presto - workable menus again! Well I thought it's a
nice feature of synaptic being able to sort on that column anyway ;-]
I think I know how all this kde stuff got installed - I basically agreed it
when it said "software update" - it asked to install 340 packages and I
didn't check.
All's well that ends well.
Cheers
Rob
