Not as far as I can tell:
nik@keks:~ $ apt-rdepends xfce4 | grep gnome
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

As a matter of fact, IceWM comes, in icewm-themes, with a Windows XP
theme :D.
On the other hand, XFCE4 is more or less what GNOME used to be; it can,
with some exceptions, be seen as a drop-in replacement for GNOME 2, but
it sucks less than GNOME 2 ever did.
I like IceWM as well, but XFCE is a good decision.

Full ACK!
