I think I've moved.
The only difference is settings. A gconftool-2 was consumed by
gsettings.

Here are my steps (it's example, don't copy this blindly):

gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager xmonad
gsettings set org.mate.caja.preferences desktop-is-home-dir true
gsettings set org.mate.caja.desktop home-icon-visible false
gsettings set org.mate.caja.desktop computer-icon-visible false

Next thing is keyring. You have to run a
gnome-keyring-daemon in case you are a evolution-mail user.

Do not remove gnome related packages if you don't know what are their
purpose.
