This may be because you had the kernel-debug packages installed before
for some reason? 

If you 'dnf remove kernel-debug\*' does it also want to remove
NetworkManager-l2tp?

Thats completely normal. gdm is basically a special gnome-shell
session. So, yes, it runs gnome-shell. This has nothing to do with
Xfce, it's just that gdm runs this way. 

If you don't want that, switch to lightdm. 

dnf install lightdm
systemctl enable lightdm --force
