One way is to, as root

    dpkg --purge unwanted_packages

Now you should ask which are the unwanted_packages to remove. a 
starting point might be to look at the output of
    ls /usr/share/doc/x*
and considering those that are X windows related.

dselect might be easier to use here: you could see the package 
description and ask to remove it with a few key strokes.
