The question is which gnome applications.  My personal priority list
would be:

* gnome-terminal
* rhythmbox
* seahorse
* transmission-gtk
* file-roller

Those are usable outside a gnome session.

I got the idea that Guix could offer XFCE as a replacement for GNOME:
instead of gnome-shell the XFCE stuff (xfdesktop, etc.).  Of course, one
could complain that no XFCE applications are provided.  That could be
fixed to package the basic XFCE programs as well (thunar, terminal,
etc.).  So, Guix would have three (two) desktop environments, KDE, XFCE
with XFCE apps, and XFCE with GNOME apps (referring only to core
applications).

WDYT?
