Unfortunately a lot of things in Gnome depend on some of the evolution
packages.  Once you've logged in and have no panels (toolbars), press
Alt-F2.  In the resulting dialog, type "gnome-terminal".  When you get
your terminal, type "sudo apt-get install gnome-panel" and press
enter.  Once it's finished installing and you log out and back in,
your panels should be back.

At that point, you might want to have a peek at the apt log and see if
anything else may have been removed.  You can uninstall evolution, but
some packages like evolution-common need to remain for Gnome to work
properly...
