Actually since 4.4beta1 I removed the last script in the xfce4 package.
Since 4.2 the desktop file for gdm was in xfce4-utils anyway.
You can safely uninstall the xfce4 package and just use whicever
components you want.
If you find some bits which actually require others then that's a bug
and should be filed as such.
