Maybe. But quoting accurately, as I suggested above, would solve a lot.  
You see, Robert, when you continuously make statements of opinion based 
on poor reading comprehension and yet refuse to provide proof, well, 
then you come off sounding like an illiterate.

Yes. I did.  More specifically it sits on top of Gnome3, which happens 
to use GTK3 as a widget machine; You might also note all of the gnome 2 
stuff allowing XFCE and LXDE to be present under the name of Kubuntu also.
> You stated that if GTK is installed, Gnome is installed completely.
No.  You inferred that.  What I said is quoted above by you.  Did you 
actually perform what I said you must do?  Do you have an installation 
of Kubuntu?  Did you click on the Muon Package Manager?  When you 
filtered with gtk you should have displayed most components that utilize 
one of the gtk tool kits, 2 or 3.  Not only are the gnome 3 components 
there but also most gnome 2 components.  You should also have noticed 
the category in the left column "Gnome Desktop Environment".  As an 
exercise you might also filter for "gnome", "lxde" and "xfce".  Quite a 
lot of crap tucked in there under the name Kubuntu, eh?  Are you 
surprised to see "Gnome Desktop Environment"?

No need for lies.  The truth is adequate for people like you.

Nope.  It's not "solved"  until we fix your reading handicap.

I expect you believe that anything you say three times becomes true.  
That is truely sad.  Write me and we will work on your reading 
comprehension out of public view.
