Just keep trying to remove GNOME packages as you find them.  the
deborphan package can help.

GNOME is like a virus in that it seems to embed itself rather deeply in
one's installation.  I use Aptitude in IU mode as a fine scalpel to
remove what I can of it.  Some useful packages like the Gimp use some
GNOME libraries and since there is really no substitute for the Gimp, I
live with it.
