I cant get openbox to work when I choose gnome/openbox I get error saying somthing baout choose session=openbox-session and openbox --replace says about a dedian-menu.xml no found but its in the var/lib dir, I have tried debain lenny ubuntu 9.04 and linux mint all the same problem, I guess why this dude didnt choose gnome/openbox because it doesnt work, anyway if someone has a solution please tell :)

Are you kidding? Just type Sudo apt-get install kde, moron.

No, but they are automatically installed when you install kubuntu-desktop

Hi Shawn, knowing Gnome is the default for Ubuntu, are the KDE libraries automatically included when you do an install of Ubuntu?

God bless,
