No, that is not true. Gnome Panel can be started from X11 and LightDM,
but may as well be started from Wayland and GDM. We can't recommend
something one.
Also, please name any package that depends on X11 and is not part of
X11, driver or metapackage.

Title:
gnome-session-flashback missing dependencies
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
gnome-session-flashback doesn't seem to depend (even indirectly) on
lightdm, xorg, or any choosers, and it doesn't seem useful without
these dependencies.
I would expect to be able to start with a base system without X,
request installation of gnome-session-flashback, and have everything
pulled in to get a flashback session going.
Or am I missing some use for the package that doesn't include even the
xorg dependency?
Background:
We use ubuntu systems in critical experimental control, so we prefer to avoid
pieces we don't need. Therefore, we've been starting with server installs and
pulling in the minimum pieces to match our requirements. Our users prefer
flashback, and we'd hoped that installing gnome-session-flashback would pull in
the minimum dependencies to get a session running.
