I think the problem here is that the cycle goes from Default -> Install -> Reinstall -> Uninstall Upon that first transition to Install, all the packages in that category are requested for installation, along with all their dependencies. Continuing through the cycle to finally reach Uninstall does not undo the earlier damage from the transition to Install; many of the packages added by Install are not removed by Uninstall. Try it and see. It's a trap. Trying to coordinate this process among the X11, Gnome, KDE, and any other X-related categories isn't possible. There's no way to jump straight from "current installed state" to Uninstall without first accidentally requesting that the installed set of packages expand rather than contract. -- Steven E.
