By daemons, I meant more in the lines of those programs that run in the background, but do not put an initscript in /etc. Userspace daemons for instance. e.g. jack, pulseaudio type daemons...
Ping? Another example would be gnome-settings-daemon. Don't they need to be killed when they are uninstalled?
If you are removing the running desktop out from under itself, I suspect this is the least of your problems.
