I was sure that this would not change a lot of things. You will have to 
remove the offending packages, as I explained in my last mail (#aptitude 
purge <package>).

About the ps, it only list process started by your actual user, started 
by the actual terminal. As gdm is not started by your terminal but by 
login, and as root, you will not see it. To see all processes, run "ps 
-A" and for processes of only one user "ps -u <user>".
