To Ricardo Wurmus, Timothy Sample and Mark H Weaver!

Regarding GNOME Core Applications and modifications to current "gnome"
package, FYI, I have filed this https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.c
gi?bug=35586.

Recently, I have been given this link (https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Ap
ps) which lists all GNOME Core Applications that are to be added to
guix's gnome package.

Whether or not to do this, I think the package with the name "gnome" in
any distribution should always reflect the vanilla gnome suite released
by GNOME Project. Any modification to it, I think, should be packaged
under different name like "gnome-minimal" or gnome-extras" etc. This
can be a good standard.

My suggestion is,
gnome --> GNOME Core Libraries+Utilities+Services+Apps
gnome-minimal --> GNOME Core Libraries+Utilities+Services ( Provides
only dm, wm, menus, settings etc. witout any apps)

Also, based on the above, I think we also need to create/enable new
value "gnome-minimal" for the data type "gnome-desktop-configuration"
of the variable "gnome-desktop-service-type". Value "gnome" can still
be default though. Power users can change the value to "gnome-minimal".

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.
