GNOME-related programs running in XFCE session?

Hello. So I have GNOME and XFCE installed, without any display manager. I start XFCE by running startx, and my .xinitrc has this: exec startxfce4. Using htop, I've realized that some processes running don't belong to the XFCE environment (I suppose):

Those processes were started by systemd, but since I'm running a XFCE session, I don't need the GNOME stuff.

$ systemctl status 638

Why PID 603 has --use-gnome-session and how can I disable it? Uninstalling GNOME isn't an option, since I still use it sometimes. My question is, how can I disable gnome-online-accounts, gvfs-*, and any other program that doesn't belong to the XFCE environment? I am not using any GNOME program in the startup:

Thanks.
