(a) Revise Package(s): Add missing packages, remove deprecated= packages and fix erroneous packages. (b) Revise Meta-Package(s): Clean-u= p gnome and create gnome-minimal.

(d) Revise Service(s): Add missing services, r= emove deprecated services and fix erroneous services. (e) Revise Service = Module(s): Rebase gnome-dektop-service-type and %desktop-services into gn= ome-desktop-service-type and gnome-minimal-desktop-service-type. 2) Impro= ve Xfce Software Stack and Xfce Desktop Environment's user-experience in = Guix. (a) Revise Package(s): Add missing packages, remove deprecated pack= ages and fix erroneous packages. (b) Revise Meta-Package(s): Clean-up xfc= e and create xfce-minimal.
