i think you've got a few things confused.
xmame is an emulator, so to speak. it is far outdated and shouldn't be used.
sdlmame is a newer mame emulator (port). use it.
gxmame/kxmame are frontends. gxmame is for use with xmame. kxmame is for use with xmame OR sdlmame.
i recommend kxmame with sdlmame. kxmame has many improvements over gxmame.
but don't install the kxmame package from the ubuntu repos. install doktorseven's kxmame package. (the older package of kxmame in the ubuntu repos is outdated and doesn't support sdlmame).
