• Important fixes to uninstaller, could have resulted in older budgie daemon* being restored than what would have been appropriate.
• Additional uninstaller verbosity added
• Overlay key Super will always be restored on gnome and budgie DE's upon removal.

*Note: Kinto no longer patches Ubuntu Budgie's daemon process for proper Alt-Tab. The fix was accepted and upstreamed into the current updates of Ubuntu Budgie. If Alt-Tab does not work in your Budgie DE then please make sure you update to the latest first. This also means any distro that uses Budgie is now compatible, not just Ubuntu Budgie.
