I'm starting to feel a bit worried, now. (Sharp intake of breath.)
Removing libgdu0 also wants to remove some dependant stuff -

The following packages will be REMOVED
  bluefish brasero f-spot gnome-applets gnome-applets-dbg gnome-dbg
->>gnome-disk-utility gnome-session<<-
  gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse libgdu0 ->>nautilus<<-
nautilus-dbg nautilus-share ->>ubuntu-desktop<<-
  update-notifier

Do you reckon if I really remove lot this it WON'T really mess things
up?
