attempt to uninstall Gwibber indicates ubuntu-desktop will be uninstalled also

[anthropornis]

I went into Synaptic to try to remove gwibber, gwibber-service, and anything Gwibber related. When I marked gwibber for complete removal, the dialog box warned me that ubuntu-desktop would be uninstalled too.

I don't really want to test that, but I assume that means my entire GUI will be hosed if I uninstall Gwibber?

If so, please remove this coupling so that I can remove Gwibber in the future; I don't use it and I don't want it installed.

Don't worry, your system will not be damaged if the package ubuntu-destop is removed. But in fact gwibber paackage should not depend that hard on ubuntu-desktop and should allow its removal without affecting other -unrelated- packages.
