that's a very good question, and I suppose many people will be happy about a really good answer. Including myself.
All I can do is tell you briefly what they're supposed to be good for.

gvfsd-trash is responsible for maintaining the trash bucket in graphical file managers like Nautilus. So obviously, I'd also like to get rid of it. gvfsd-metadata is notorious for almost locking up the CPU once in a while for no apparent reason; you can kill that process with no noticeable effect (except the CPU hogging vanishes), so it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. But it keeps reappearing after some time.
telepathy-indic is a part of telepathy, an instant messenger. So if you remove telepathy and all its dependencies, this one should be gone as well.
mission-control and csd-printer ... well, I've never heard of them, no idea what they're good for.
And finally, update-notifier is a process that interacts with the panel icon telling you whether there are package updates available or not, so you probably won't want to disable that because then you'd have to care for all updates manually using apt-get.
Good luck,
