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.
