Not sure about that as I haven't actually done any testing yet.  From 
what I understand normally things like the Gnome Desktop etc are linked 
into the Ubuntu-desktop package so it might be a good idea to keep 
them.  If you try and remove ubuntu-desktop it should tell you what 
packages will be removed along with it.
