removing gnome

[Paul Cartwright <ale@pcartwright.com>]

I just started using Debian not too long ago. When I did the install I think 
it installed gnome by default, I don't remember.
I run KDE only, yet I have had problems with gnome screensaver taking over, 
and other issues. Right now, for instance I did a ps looking for gnome apps, 
and got this:
5$ ps -ef|grep gnome
pbc       3914 13068  0 13:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep gnome
pbc      13053 13028  0 Jan19 ?        00:00:01 gnome-terminal
pbc      13067 13053  0 Jan19 ?        00:00:00 gnome-pty-helper
pbc      13080     1  0 Jan19 ?        
00:00:00 /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/gnome-vfs-daemon
pbc      13085     1  0 Jan19 ?        
00:00:03 /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon
pbc      13096     1  0 Jan19 ?        00:00:22 gnome-screensaver
pbc      14002 13028  0 Jan19 ?        00:00:00 gnome-terminal
pbc      14005 14002  0 Jan19 ?        00:00:00 gnome-pty-helper


so what can I safely remove from my system and not affect my KDE setup?
gdm ? gnome-desktop??
