   Basically, if you look below your XFCE application menu and see any   
   application with aname which starts with a "k" it will depend upon KDE   
   libraries. Examples of such applications are:   
      
   k3b (for burning CD, DVD or BluRay)   
   Konsole (yet another terminal)   
   KMail   
   Konqueror (web browser and file manager)   
   Krita   
   KPatience   
   KStars   
   KCachegrind   
   KCalc   
      
   However, there are also applications which does not start with "k" which   
   depends upon KDE libraries. Exampels:   
      
   The hated nepomuk   
   calligra   
   Amarok   
   Granatier   
      
   If an application below the "help" menu has a choise "About KDE" it will   
   for sure depend upon KDE libraries.   
      
   However, all the applications above are in the slackware*/kde directory   
   of the installation media. So yes, you will save a lot of disk space by   
   not installing them, but you will also miss a lot of applications from   
   your XFCE menus.
