check which packages are 'Depend:'-ed on by the 'gnome' metapackage.
If you installed gnome via aptitude, removing the package via aptitude
should pull out everything else.
If you didn't, it might be worth looking into how you could mark all
of the gnome-dependency tree in such a way that aptitude will remove
'em (any thoughts anyone - is this easier than just hand removing the
lot?)
As for installing kde,
aptitude install kde
