Checking my installation removing gdm will remove gnome-desktop-environment which is a package rather than the whole gnome desktop. The other stuff aptitude wants to remove is what aptitude *thinks* is no longer required. A suggestion would to install synaptic, a graphical front-end to apt, as your package manager which I think is clearer in a some instances. rob http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=82BS4ZCMFR1
