Should be good enough but speaking of bandwidth,
xfce4-regular should pull in a (considerable) subset
of those required by xfce4-full, and it's what included
into xfce image flavour:

The second link above shows that these packages get into xfce
based image:

  xfce4-regular xreader xdg-user-dirs-gtk light-locker
  pavucontrol xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin xfce-polkit

Installing branding-alt-starterkit-xfce-settings might
make sense too (it's pretty tiny, 18k).
