All I know is that when I installed Jessie, I specified only the Xcfe
desktop, and I did not specify Gnome. (Months ago I tried to install both
Gnome and Xfce on a system, and something went awry.)
The installer may have installed some Gnome packages, but that does not
bother me, so long as I have the Xfce desktop.
And thinking of it now, I did subsequently install gnome-disk-utility,
which I use almost daily.
If a Gnome package -- such as gdebi or gnome-disk-utility runs properly
apart from the Gnome desktop, should I be concerned?
