Removing that package won't deinstall anything else. You can look at
which packages it depends upon to see what else to deinstall (you'll
probably also have to look at those packages to find all the libs).
Alternatively, a BFI approach is to try to remove a core GNOME library
like libgnome and/or things like orbit and see what else dselect wants
to remove.

That won't cause any problems (assuming you have WindowMaker installed
:-) ) but it will leave the GNOME stuff lying around on disk. You'll
need to do this anyway if you remove GNOME.
