Moving desktop environment packages out of the X11 category

Hi everyone,
We recently added new package categories for desktop environments
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-05/msg00013.html
However, some desktop-environment-specific packages remain under the
X11 category. For example:
gnome-backgrounds
gnome-menus
metacity
Note that I think that toolkits should remain under X11. (Although one
could argue that GTK3 should be under GNOME.) I also think that window
managers that are not associated with a desktop environment should
remain X11.
Ideally, I would like to be able to install the entire X11 category
without numerous desktop environment packages (like libgtop2.0_10)
being pulled in due to dependencies.
-Mike
