I'm unsure I would call that a consensus, but as I said earlier, if you
really hate that additional package, then sure, get rid of it.

Note that Xfce maintainers aren't the only relevant people here,
although it might be the easiest to consult. I don't really like having
to force Xfce users to install libnautilus (which actually bother me
more than libsecret), but I'm pretty sure evince-gtk is used by a lot of
people from the “non DE” crowd (people using only a WM). Sure, they can
switch to xpdf instead, but evince-gtk was a really nice alternative I
think.

Anyway,
