Red Hat's web of dependencies make it difficult to get rid of it 
entirely.  You should probably keep at least the gtk+ and gtk2 libraries 
because many non-Gnome applications use them.

Install apt-get from this address then do the following:
apt-get update
apt-get install synaptic
synaptic

Synaptic is a decent RPM GUI that will help you see packages.  If you 
remove one package it tells you which others need to be removed due to 
dependencies.

Other useful apt-get commands:
apt-get upgrade          (Update all packages safely)
apt-get dist-upgrade     (Update all packages)
apt-get remove something (remove something and dependencies of it)
