That's to be expected. Even if you remove gnome packages, those config
files are there to stay forever until manually removed.
That doesn't make any sense to me. What's the point of offering one a choice
of desktop environments, at the login prompt, if choosing Gnome once ends up
hopelessly corrupting all other desktop environments, in perpetuity?
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 shark.
