I don't see any connection between network-manager-gnome and
libgweather-common.
As for the other dependencies: you need to be more specific, otherwise I
can't really comment on that in a useful way.
E.g. gnome-keyring is not really an optional component, as almost every
connection needs to store a secret and nm-applet would be useless without.
For gnome-bluetooth the situation is this: once there is a framework
which automatically prompts the users to install that package when
bluetooth hardware is detected, I'm happy to downgrade that to a suggests.

And then I don't see anything "GNOME" related anymore in the package
dependencies.
