alacarte easy GNOME menu editing tool evolution-data-server evolution database backend server gnome-applets Various applets for the GNOME panel - binary files gnome-session-flashback (>= 3.14.0) GNOME Session Manager - GNOME Flashback session gvfs userspace virtual filesystem - GIO module indicator-applet-complete Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet unity-control-center utilities to configure the GNOME desktop Listing those one-by-one in the `apt-get install` line of our installer script is possible but it makes the code too much ubuntu-version specific.
