Note, this applies only to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). If you're using
8.10, go here. If you're using 8.04, go here.
These removal commands were created based on what Kubuntu or Xubuntu
packages were added to a default Ubuntu installation. It's possible
that the commands might remove some other packages you have since
added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track
of which packages those are and reinstall them. Your settings should
still be there.
