This is necessary, as the currently two implemented gdm greeters (ie,
the interface part of gdm) are running in GNOME sessions, with
gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon. This is done so you can have
proper power management in GDM, for instance.

It'd be possible to write a GDM greeter not requiring those parts of
GNOME, though.
