Running that showed me ii synaptic 0.70~pre1+b1 Graphical package manager No packages found matching ssft. No packages found matching squeak-vm. Removing synaptic and then running apt-get autoremove in fact removed kdebase-bin along with 6 other packages; so you're right, and I just have to figure out more of those recommends to remove all the packages that were installed because of my temporary install of kdm. (I may write a script/program some time to figure out the whole network and point out only-recommended packages, if there's no way to "force" autoremove to remove those.)
