That said, when installing TDE I am given a choice to use either the "lightdm" login manager standard package by default, or "tdm-trinity". Setting to "tdm-trinity" and the TDE desktop means not seeing whatever default desktop was installed the first time. I know Ubuntu does some things very differently, but most of the plumbing remains Debian. Can you try "dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity" and see if you have a choice to set tdm-trinity as the default login, from which you can choose TDE as the desktop? At least that way you could do the desktop Ubuntu install and get all the good bells and whistles that come with that, and still not use the default ugly desktop.
