summary attempt (please correct me if we still don't agree)

desktop will handle the desktop component. It'll try to stick with vanilla
desktops as much as possible, but provide good default, and uniformization when
it's possible and non-intrusive. In all case, additions should be easily (un)pluggable.

About non visible stuff, desktop will try to make things work out of the box.
Ie, addapt config/default data so that they better interact with gentoo core
system.

Some questions to answer :

- do we want X in desktop or in base or elsewhere? it seems we tend to put X in
  base, but not included in default system

- should we have rules to decide if such modification will change the DE too
  much from vanilla state?

- probably other things, but my head is in a bad state right now
