Re: is x window needed?
The X server is needed since that is what powers all things graphical on your system. without X you can't install gnome, or anything graphical to tell the truth.

Gnome and KDE run on top of X, X runs on top of Linux itself, so you can't cut X out
it's kind of an intermediary.
