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.
