The above will not be uninstalled unless you run
apt-get autoremove
They were installed because the meta-package 'gnome' depended upon them.
'gnome' also depends on mono, so in removing mono you must remove
gnome. Now that nothing depends on them, apt* reckons they're no longer
required, but because you've not specifically told it to uninstall them
it will not remove them.

These are mono libs and applications, and must be removed since they
depend upon mono.
GNote is a non-mono replacement for Tomboy.
