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.
