I decided to try out KDE, didnt like it so I removed it by following the directions in this thread-->
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874503
sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-kde4-desktop
sudo aptitude purge kdm-kde4
sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
sudo aptitude purge ~nkde4
However, when installing i used the command 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' (kde3)
so when i uninstalled i did this:
sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop
sudo aptitude purge kdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm (said kdm was not installed)
sudo aptitude purge ~nkde
I had to change /etc/X11/default-display-manager back to gdm, because it prompted for a default and i selected kdm.
Gnome works fine again, however i want to get rid of the kubuntu load screen and go back to the original ubuntu screen.
I tried following the directions in this thread:

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Maybe aptitude purge kdm was a mistake?
