oops - sorry Celejar - my reply-to went to your email and not to the

under xfce-setting-show manager choose preferred applications and there you can
change the choice of browser, email program and terminal.
The command in the panel launcher is some sort of cryptic 'exo-open
--WebBrowser' or 'exo-open --TerminalEmulator' or something like
that'. Apparently that points to the GNOME apps, since I haven't
changed the Preferred Apps settings. However, I don't think that
should make the command 'xfterm4' open gnome-terminal (?!). Thanks
for the suggestion though.

Is there any simple, _clean_ way to do this? The cleanest way I can
think of is to reinstall using the Debian xfce4 iso and add the gnome
utilities one by one, but that would be a real hassle, involving
downloading and burning an iso and going through the whole install
process all over.
You certainly don't need to do that. As Doug would say, start Aptitude
in interactive mode, open "Installed Packages / Gnome / [Main]" and go
through the list one by one, marking everything that you don't think
you need as automatically installed (with key 'M'). Then just upgrade,
and Aptitude will remove everything that you've marked, except for
dependencies of things you still want.
That sounds like the closest to what I want - I'll try that first.
Thank you to everyone who responded for your help!
