Take a look here: <https://wiki.gnome.org/GDM>. The list of dependencies does not include gnome-shell. Among the list, glib seems to be the only candidate that might require gnome-shell (remotely). I checked on my F19 server, that is not the case: $ rpm -q --provides glib glib = 1:1.2.10-39.fc19 glib(x86-64) = 1:1.2.10-39.fc19 libglib-1.2.so.0()(64bit) libgmodule-1.2.so.0()(64bit) libgthread-1.2.so.0()(64bit) glib = 1:1.2.10-39.fc19 glib(x86-32) = 1:1.2.10-39.fc19 libglib-1.2.so.0 libgmodule-1.2.so.0 libgthread-1.2.so.0 Actually, I see that the dependency was explicitly added without gdm actually requiring it (IOW, packager's configuration choice): <http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gdm.git/tree/gdm.spec#n348> Maybe it is worth a bug report?
