PackageKit
The Kickoff application uninstaller is (/ was ?) part of the PackageKit : https://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/5974/diff/
Patch to use PackageKit session interface to "Uninstall" the applications.
When kickoff starts it checks if the session interface is available, if it's not available the
right click option to "Uninstall" applications will not be displayed.

I have installed packagekit package and I don't have this uninstaller entry in KickOff again... And I don't want to install Apper, I already have Muon.. On Kubuntu 11.10 I don't have Apper and I have this entry... I have to search which package is missing..
EDIT : I have installed Apper, PackageKit... And tada nothing... So there is a problem...Last edited by ti_tux; Apr 14, 2012, 05:39 PM.

It is evidently tied to the "sessioninstaller" package -- that is the application that owns the window that comes up. So try installing sessioninstaller.We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. -- Stephen Hawking

Interesting.
Description-en: APT based installer using PackageKit's session DBus API
Sessioninstaller allows applications to easily install additional software
(e.g. extensions or GStreamer codecs), uninstall files and perform simple
software status queries by implementing the distribution neutral
D-Bus session interface of PackageKit.
.
The whole process including confirmation, error reporting and progress
and notification is handled by sessioninstaller.
.
The reference implementation of the D-Bus interface can be found in
gnome-packagekit. It was also adpoted by KPackageKit.
.
In contrast to gnome-packagekit and KPackageKit it doesn't use the PackageKit
daemon for querying and installation, but instead makes use of APT and
aptdaemon (alternatively synaptic can be used).

This is a system that has been upgraded many times, ultimately from 7.04. So even though packagekit has been removed, it probably left pieces behind. I did a search with Synaptic for packagekit, and came up with the following:
python-packagekit
libpackagekit-qt2-2
packagekit-backend-aptcc
libpackagekit-glib2-14
sessioninstaller
libpackagekit-qt14
python-aptdaemon.pkcompat
Could be that one of those is necessary. Could also be something in kde itself.We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. -- Stephen Hawking

Yes but it did nothing. So I reboot and .......... I have my uninstall entry ! Thanks to doctordruidphd.
We must have these packages for this uninstaller entry :
python-packagekit
libpackagekit-qt2-2
packagekit-backend-aptcc
libpackagekit-glib2-14
sessioninstaller
python-aptdaemon.pkcompat
Thanks to all of you who help me !
See you later

Good info, thanks! I did not even realize the entry was missing. It would sure simplify the process of removing unused software from ones system. I just installed the listed packages and rebooted. When I got back to the desktop, voila, the Uninstall option was available in the Kickstart menu. Ben
