I'm a Xfce user and can remove it, because it's not a hard dependency. For thunar it's recommended http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/thunar and for nautilus it's a hard dependency http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/nautilus . On another distro I'm using, the packages nemo and mate-file-manager (caja) come with a hard dependency, both file managers are similar to nautilus. gvfs is needed for GNOME 2, GNOME 3, Cinnamon, Mate and Xfce to automatically show devices, IOW USB sticks, hard disks that aren't mounted by fstab, DVD's and even the Trash icon. If you remove gvfs you need to mount those devices by another way. Perhaps by an udev rule. I'm doing it by command line, using a script to mount and unmount by label. Very seldom I'm using the mouse for file managing. If I delete a file in thunar, it's deleted, if I delete a file on the Xfce Desktop it's moved to Trash. $ touch xfce_desktop_file deleted by mouse $ ls ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ xfce_desktop_file But even for this you could make a launcher for 'rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/'. Building a dummy package might take not much more than a minute. # equivs-control gvfs Than edit the generated file.
