I'm no expert on the minimum required packages, but on my BBW Console image 2015-11-12 X apps like geany wouldn't work untill I installed xinit which sure brought in a lot of xorg stuff along with it.
My experience is that running gui applications via ssh -X (especially over the USB gadget) actually has better interaction than when running on the BBB HDMI display, so its very useful!
