Comment 2 for bug 187177

We briefly discussed this on #kubuntu-devel and believe this is, in fact a bug:

[16:41] <ScottK2> Any thoughts on this bug: Bug #187177 - It seems to me that it does, in fact, describe a bug and shouldn't have been converted to a question.
[16:41] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 187177 in totem "Installing totem on kubuntu switches users to gnome desktop" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/187177
[16:43] <Lure> ScottK2: it sounds like bug to me
[16:43] <Lure> installing totem does not mean I expect desktop will be switched

[16:46] <Lure> ScottK2: there is difference between apt-get and aptitude - Probably fishy Recommends
[16:46] <Lure> ScottK2: apt-get wants to in install 18, while aptitude 143 packages!
[16:48] <Lure> ScottK2: and funny, there are no recommends listed for totem...
[16:48] <Lure> might be totem-gstreamer

Switching desktops when a new application is installed is not how it's supposed to work.
