[clug] Ubuntu Lynx (10.04) and window button positions

[steve jenkin]

Forking the topic,
Is it possible to install both gnome and KDE desktops with Ubuntu 10.04?

I've a not-quite-newbie friend who's installed (gnome) Ubuntu 10.04 and
wants to run Konqueror at times.

If I can install both desktops together and either setup two logins to
the same user or select the desktop from the login screen, I'll attempt
to do that for him.

Any help/suggestions/comments?

BTW, haven't STFW on this yet.
