gnome-keyring, gnome-user-share, grilo-plugins - really required?

Hey there,

due to touchscreen support of gnome I am a little bit force to move from XFCE to GNOME. I love the simplicity of XFCE and since we are on Arch I though I might be able to create a "slimmed down" GNOME installation on my system.

Looking through the content of the gnome package I wonder if the following packages are needed. What are they for?

gnome-keyring
gnome-user-share
grilo-plugins

I don't need any of the "accountservice" stuff and "online account" features that gnome has. So uninstalling them would be nice

My current installation for GNOME would look like this:

From: https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/gnome/
 
adwaita-icon-theme
baobab
dconf-editor
eog
gdm
gnome-calculator
gnome-control-center
gnome-desktop
gnome-disk-utlity
gnome-font-viewer
gnome-keyring (really ?)
gnome-screenshot
gnome-session
gnome-setting-daemon
gnome-shell
gnome-system-log
gnome-system-monitor
gnome-terminal
gnome-user-share (really?)
grilo-plugin (really?)
gucharmap
gvfs
gvfs-afc
gvfs-gphoto2
gvfs-mtp
gvfs-nfs
gvfs-smb
mousetweaks
mutter
xdg-user-dirs-gtk

Instead of Nautilus/Sushi -> Nemo (altough it bring cinnamon-desktop as dependency :/)

Thanks !

Edit: Oh and "yelp"... I guess this one is required too for making all the "help" buttons work that appear in gnome ?
