xfce4, gnome, and my GTK apps???

What should I do here? So far I have done a fresh install of arch linux. I installed the light version of gnome, no extras. I did install a few gnome programs, like gnome-system-monitor, file roller, etc... functionality reasoning. I also have skype and audacious installed atm, pretty bare bones as u can see.

What I did was change DE's, I now am stuck on xfce4 and want to drop gnome from this arch install. What should I be worried about and how would you go about removing gnome without ruining the arch install? I really like my setup and my GTK apps, I do not wanna destroy it. Any advice???

on another note, how do I get my desktop icons back??? I experimented with the alt + ctrl + esc keyboard shortcut and did a kill process command on my desktop which in turned deleted the icons. Now they won't come back...

Run "xfdesktop &" from a terminal and save your session on logout.
