So far just got ES File Explorer and MX Player and they're both working.
It also had Google Mail pre-installed which appears to be working without any action on my part. Scared me to death when the message alert went off at full volume out of nowhere!
I know, my wife jumps whenever I get an alert on my tablet too - then she glares at me
Gapps are slightly different to ordinary apps that you can download from Play as they form part of the system.
i.e. on Christian Troys full Gapps package for CM10 it includes Bluetooth and face recognition services as well, which is partly why he recommends a 300Mb min system partition to accommodate all the Google goodies.
I am glad your tablet is behaving itself at the moment but if you try to use a specific Google service or download an app that depends on a particular Google service that isn't available in the version of Gapps you (apparently) installed then you may find odd things happen.
If this does happen (hope it doesn't) it may be because you (apparently) have installed a heavily pruned version of Gapps.
This is nothing to worry about as it will only affect specific Google-based things when you come to use them and if you don't ever need or use them you will never know they are missing at all.
Hope that makes some sort of sense.
