As can be seen from

$ apt-cache show gnome-core

gnome-core is really only a meta package depending upon the stuff
‘central to gnome’. Removing the meta package will not remove
anything else, unless you use, for example, apt-get autoremove.

It might therefore be helpful to check the dependencies of gnome-core
and mark the important-for-you packages to be installed manually by,
for example

# apt-get install brasero eog metacity

Best regards,

Claudius
