I'm sure some of these are optional, but similar to XFCE, we probably want the applets, which brings in cpupower (and that itself has a handful of other stuff that we might need, such as sysfsutils). gnome-screensaver might be optional, making libgnomekbd optional, but then we wouldn't have a screensaver and that still is important to me at least.
Seriously? Ok, so missed a couple of packages. Maybe I shouldn't contribute to the goal of the project. My bad. -Joe
