After switching back to Gnome, I didn't see any XFCE bits running,
in the Gnome session.
Gnome is just being obnoxious. I've bashed Gnome before, plenty of
times, but I can honestly say that, now, it has truly jumped the

It's a little hard to tell from your description, but I think what you
are seeing is an XFCE feature. See

just go to the session preferences and choose the advanced tab. Uncheck
"Launch GNOME services at startup".
