It has burnt other people before you. :) It is known to remove as many package as necessary to uninstall something without creating any unresolved dependencies. So far, so good. But for some things that is still too much and damages your installation, because not everything is hardwired in form of package dependencies. Packages you've erased may be required for your desktop to not malfunction. Save a copy of /var/log/yum.conf and try to reinstall some of the packages listed as "Erased". It might help to post that list.
