ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on everything needed to run the GNOME version of Ubuntu. There is no functional difference between Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS with ubuntu-desktop installed and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Same with kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop. They are the meta packages that install the KDE and XFce environments used by Kubuntu and Xubuntu.
