They are both File and directory monitors.

Then don't install gnome-audio.

apt-get -f only fixes things if they aren't installed (like power goes out during an upgrade)

You seem to be just glazing over here Drew. Read the descriptions. The if the Gnomes Destop Environment is the only thing beng installed (it is a meta package) you may not need it. But try to get it installed. gdm is the Gnome Dektop Manager (login screen thinger)
