I removed task-kde4 from synaptic, and it's still there when I log into it from Gnome. It is showing not installed in Synaptic.  I also try to purge it , and it's showing not installed, yet there it is. |

By doing it from GDM?) Task-kde4 isn't really a package; it's a meta-package that simply installs 23 real packages. If uninstalling task-kde4 doesn't remove all of them, you have to uninstall the remaining ones one by one. (Synaptic does list them.) But note that if you run any KDE apps under Gnome, they will need KDE libraries. |

I got rid of it.
How come when you install task KDE it installs what you need, yet when you try to remoe it, you have to uninstall a bunch of stuff to get rid of it.

The idea of it being a "task" is that it's "tasked" with bringing in (installing) all the apps required to run a modern Desktop Environment (DE)
And remember installing a DE is no small undertaking - it links in with a huge number of processes/apps etc etc.
I always find it far easier when trying out various DE in one OS is to test them in VBox (or similar) and then if you don't like it or have problems its a simple matter of creating a new VM. Plus using a VM you can take "snapshots" prior to the changes occurring so its easy to jump back to that "good" system as well.

This is a more general problem. Every time you install a package with dependencies, those too will be installed semi-automatically (not to mention the dependencies' dependencies). But when you uninstall the package, the dependencies will usually remain installed. Why? Because other unrelated packages may still rely on them. |

Thanks for the info. I hope I didn't get rid of something that I need in Gnome. It seems to work fine so far.
Oh well...live and learn I guess.
After all it's just an OS, not like I borked my car or sumpin.

sixthwheel,
Open Synaptic and click File > History. When the History window opens, click on the date you installed task-kde. Look at the packages that were installed with it. If you were not installing other things, too, the list will be everything that came in with kde.

Thanks Neal, that is a very good tip. I'm going to add it to my list of tips. |
