first, add this repository to system -> administration -> software sources -> third party software

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main

then, type this command in terminal

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop

and, no need to uninstall gnome.

when the next time you login, select sessions -> kde from login screen choose, make it default.

if you don't like it, make gnome the default desktop :)

In 8.10 kde is already installed.
Go to log out then sessions and use kde as already said above by x33a.
