What about defining %gnome-packages in (gnu system desktop)?  Then if
someone appends it to %base-packages, they get a ready-to-use GNOME
desktop, no?  (Slim should find the .desktop entry for GNOME.)

Similarly, we should update ‘desktop.tmpl’ to mention %gnome-packages or
whatever it takes to use GNOME.

WDYT?

Thank you for all the work!
