I tried aptitude remove --purge gdm and got back a whole list of other

have a possibility of getting past the application non-destructively.
Checking my installation removing gdm will remove gnome-desktop-environment which is a package rather than the whole gnome desktop. The other stuff aptitude wants to remove is what aptitude *thinks* is no longer required. A suggestion would to install synaptic, a graphical front-end to apt, as your package manager which I think is clearer in a some instances.
