You can build the gnome-settings-daemon without pulse dependency
yourself. For me an empty dummy package pulseaudio did work for Debian
stable/testing and Arch Linux, while for Arch Linux there also is a
PKGBUILD for gnome-settings-daemon-nopulse.
Since you're using Ubuntu it's easy to build a dummy package using
equivs. If it shouldn't work you simply can reinstall the original
package. A backup also won't harm.
I prefer to stay with Xfce4 and LXDE also is ok.
