Given the desktop handling revamp for Jessie, using xfce CD#1 leads to
the following list of packages matching 'gnome' being installed:

ii  gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0               3.12.0-1+b1                         amd64        GNOME keyring services library - introspection data

lightdm is the installed DM, the default session is Xfce, so I guess
everything is in order. Closing accordingly.
