Bug Description
I've got a machine that was installed with the stock (gnome) desktop, and then I added xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop.
The results are messier than they might be. The various desktops leave messy artifacts in each other's menus (in particular, KDE programs show up with bad labels in xubuntu menus).
The fight over the splash screen is also not very edifying, with the kernel rebuilding and all.
It seems to me that it would be good if each desktop were TWO meta-packages: one that installs a respectable version of the desktop as citizen who can get along with others, and another that says 'take over this machine, please'.
