That's not going to get rid of the GNOME stuff. Those packages just
depend on lots of other packages; you need to actually go off and
remove those packages too (generally gnome-*) to really purge GNOME.

Well, mc conflicts with gmc, and I believe task-gnome-desktop depends
on that. So that will cause the task-gnome-desktop package -- but not
anything else it depends on, like for example gnome-panel -- to be
removed.
