[SOLVED] remove gnome, getting dependancy errors

I really really really like kdemod :) but now how do I get rid of gnome? i'll need to install kdm first i think...
heres my problem:

[root@arch /]# pacman -R gnome-extra gnome
:: group gnome-extra:
    bug-buddy  dasher  eog  evince  file-roller  gcalctool  gconf-editor  gdm
    gedit  gnome-audio  gnome-mag  gnome-netstatus  gnome-nettool
    gnome-power-manager  gnome-python-desktop  gnome-system-monitor
    gnome-terminal  gnome-utils  gnome-volume-manager  gok  gucharmap
    nautilus-cd-burner  orca  seahorse  sound-juicer  tomboy  totem  vino
    zenity
    Remove whole content? [Y/n] y
:: group gnome:
    epiphany  gnome-applets  gnome-backgrounds  gnome-control-center
    gnome-desktop  gnome-icon-theme  gnome-media  gnome-mime-data  gnome-mount
    gnome-panel  gnome-session  gnome-themes  gnome2-user-docs  libgail-gnome
    metacity  nautilus  yelp
    Remove whole content? [Y/n] y
loading package data... done.
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: eel: requires gnome-desktop>=2.20.0
:: gnome-sharp: requires gnome-panel>=2.18.0
:: gnome-vfs: requires gnome-mime-data>=2.18.0-2
:: gtkhtml: requires gnome-icon-theme>=2.20.0
:: libgnomeprintui: requires gnome-icon-theme>=2.20.0

hint: pacman -R --help
(you can do the same for other capital-letter options, e.g. pacman -S --help)
