I don't know of an existing HOWTO, but the brief solution is to
install the ubuntu-mid package rather than the ubuntu-desktop package
when first installing.
Installing ubuntu-mid on top of a desktop install won't remove the
desktop environment, so you end up with the dual environment you've
encountered, and I'm unsure of an easy way to identify all that would
need to be removed.
