While I think it's fine to include this in the example desktop
configuration file, I don't see why we couldn't have a few example
configuration files for various use cases.  One of those use cases could
mimic what other distros normally include, like LibreOffice etc, and one
of those could be a more minimal desktop environment.  Does it add a
maintenance burden to have multiple example desktop configuration files?
