How can I change the interface from Gnome to KDE in Ubuntu?

I would like to try it to test whether KDE will rebind my messed up mouse buttons.

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then log of and select KDE under the sessions button.

Not sure if this is the right place and Hello!

Just updated to Kunbuntu and have a couple of questions about what I saw scroll by. I am so new I'm still glistening so please be patient.
I followed the directions from above since I was doing it piece meal before and lost screen resolution in 4.0 kde. Hoping what I just did will help me out...or something:confused:

A display manager is a program that provides graphical login │
│ capabilities for the X Window System. │
│ │
│ Only one display manager can manage a given X server, but multiple │
│ display manager packages are installed. Please select which display │
│ manager should run by default. │
│ │
│ Multiple display managers can run simultaneously if they are configured │
│ to manage different servers; to achieve this, configure the display │
│ managers accordingly, edit each of their init scripts in /etc/init.d, │
│ and disable the check for a default display manager. │



sorry if this comes out weird. Not sure why it 'quoted' like this...
