As far as I know no GNOME application requires a running GNOME
session, if by such thing you mean running the gnome-session program.
If a GNOME program does not run under "bare" X or KDE, then it is
broken and should be fixed. Do you have any examples of such
programs?
(As for footprint, well, the GIMP is not terribly lightweight either) :-)
