I downloaded a Debian wheezy netinstall iso file, and just made a very minimal installation with no Display manager or desktop environment.
I was using the terminal for testing purpose. I later installed cinnamon from Linux Mint backport repos. It worked fine.
Then, to have a display manager, I choose to install lightdm. I used the command
The installation was successful, but when I restarted, Gnome 3 was also installed. How do I remove gnome3 and all its dependencies without affecting the system ?

You can't. As far as I can tell.
Your best bet is to re-install without the desktop environment, and then either select the one you want or none.
debian organizes the bigger groups of package selections as 'tasks'. You can see them easily with aptitude or synaptic.
the ones you want are:
- task-desktop
- task-gnome-desktop
if you still haven't installed anything that depends on a gnome lib, you can try just removing task-gnome-desktop (or also removing task-desktop if you don't want anything from Xorg/11). On most real world systems, that will remove nothing if you uninstall. So your goal should be not have them selected at install time.

It used to be very easy to install custom themes in Gnome 2, but if you have upgraded to Gnome Shell, particularly in Ubuntu Oneiric, you will find that there are not much customization options available for you. While Gnome Shell supports theming, there doesn’t seem to be an option for you to switch to the theme you want. For those who are tired of the default look in your Gnome Shell, here is how you can easily install and switch to a custom theme.
Get your themes ready!
Before we can switch theme, you need to have your custom themes ready. Places you can look for beautiful themes include Gnome-look and DeviantArt.
There are a few themes that you have to download, namely the Gnome Shell theme, GTK 3.x theme, icon theme and probably custom font (optional).
In case you are confused over the difference between the Gnome Shell theme and the GTK 3.x theme:
- GTK 3.x theme – the main theme that governs the panel/window border, color, background etc
- Gnome shell theme – the theme that governs the display in the Activity mode (when you click on the Activity button at the top left corner).
Popular Gnome Shell Theme
Here are some popular Gnome Shell themes: File save game ps2.
Faience
Adwaita-White
Note Ghost recon psp cso. : The Adwaita GTK theme is the default theme for Gnome Shell in Ubuntu Oneiric. This Adwaita White Gnome Shell theme will go well with the default theme.
London Smoke
Tron Legacy
Installing themes
Once you have downloaded all the themes (Gnome Shell theme, GTK 3 theme, icon theme, and probably custom fonts), extract them to their respective location.
- Extract Gnome shell theme and GTK 3 theme to ~/.themes
- Extract icon theme to ~/.icons
- Extract custom font to ~/.fonts
Note: ~/ is a shorthand for your home folder. So ~/.themes is referring to the /home/username/.themes folder.
Switching theme
There are many ways to change a theme in Gnome Shell, but the easiest way is via the third-party application Gnome Tweak Tool.
Install Gnome Tweak Tool (for Ubuntu Oneiric):
Next, open the Gnome Tweak Tool (search for “Advanced Settings”). On the left pane, click “Shell Extensions”.
Enable the “User Themes Extension” option.
Next, click the Theme option. Here, you can select your favourite Gnome Shell theme, GTK 3 theme and Icon theme (for a consistent look, keep the Window theme the same as the GTK+ theme).
Lastly, go to the Fonts option and change the default font to your custom font.
That’s it.
