Problems after installing and uninstalling kubuntu-desktop

[amime]

hi everybody !

under gnome (OS: ubuntu lucid 10.04) i installed KGet and it was working fine with no problems or ( extra PKGs installation ) ...
then
i wanted to try KDE desktop so i installed kubuntu-desktop , after that gnome windows and message alerts have been transformed to KDE form even if i was logged with gnome ...

i uninstalled kubuntu-desktop using instructions provided here :
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php

but then i lost kget .... now when i try to install it again , synaptic iforms me that i have to install a lot of extra packages as well ..

what is the shortest way to install and run KDE program on my gnome desktop properly .. ?

thanks

1.) In a terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
2.) In a terminal:
sudo apt-get install nameofkdeapplication

Gnome and KDE apps (for most part) can be used in either environment.
Kubuntu vs. Ubuntu means different window managers - kdm/gdm
Running dpkg-reconfigure gdm allows you to choose which window manager is to be used...

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
sudo apt-get install kget

No, it's not need to download 213 MB but 40.7 MB.

Isn't it a lot of similar applications that work natively in gnome?

i know that it's 40.7 MB .

about "similar applications " : i've tried all gnome native apps like : gwget , wget , cURL , Axel ,Aria2 , (FatRat) , JDownloader , UGet , Downloader for the x and multiget


gwget : crashes a lot , and even when i close its window , the background process is still running and occupying network resources ...
wget , curl , axel and aria2 : the problem is the GUI and poor interaction .

jdownloader is "heavy "

and vice versa ..

++++++++++++++++++

anyway , i've installed those pkgs and kget is running ,

my question was about the existence of one -or more - pkg which is responsible for running kde apps under gnome as if they were gnome-oriented

( interfaces and the use of binaries)
