Why does the GUI depend on gnome at all? As opposed to just Gtk?
Well for one thing, no gtk app can display readable fonts unless the gnome-settings-daemon is running to tell them what to do.
I hate both the gnome and kde desktops, and in my quest to rid myself of them, I've definitely discovered there are pieces you can't do without. Aside from gnome-settings-daemon for gtk apps, most apps (kde or gtk) can't seem to survive without a dbus daemon running.
