One other thought, did you try "sudo apt-get autoremove" or
"sudo apt-get autoclean"?
How about "sudo apt-get purge" ? This command would need
the complete package name following it, the previous two are
standalone commands at the command line.
Why Gnome and KDE differ is part of the fascination we each
have for our particular interface. Sometimes the underlying
parts are a little too dissimilar for us to help each other, but you
can always inquire on the Ubuntu fora (plural for forum), since
most of us here are KDE users.
Let me know how it turns out if you do inquire elsewhere for
help.
Good luck!
Tom
