No, also console applications like pine and mutt will probably considered 
desktop applications. Basically there will be a partition of all ebuilds into 
probably (we are not ready with it yet): -desktop, -base, -server and 
- -toolkit

Of these -toolkit is the most vague but it basically includes things like 
libxml, various programming languages (not gcc which is part of -base), 
tcl/tk and other packages that enduser packages build upon. I know there will 
be some tough judgements with certain packages but desktop basically includes 
those packages that someone uses when using the computer as 
desktop/workstation and has nothing to do with socalled desktop environments 
as kde and gnome
