Comment # 2 on bug 1122778 from Simon Lees

Having thought on this more, maybe we could make this a bit better but i'm
leaning toward more that the x11 patterns should just be hidden, on there own
they don't do anything useful other then reduce the list of things the other
desktop patterns use. The reason we have the x11 / x11_opt split is for stuff
we want on the DVD vs stuff that doesn't fit.

For the usecase your suggesting someone should be able to just select the
Basesystem pattern then install the package for the desktop they want on top,
be it enlightenment, icewm, lxqt etc. or a selection of xfce packages. You
should be able to install any desktop without the x11 pattern, if not its a bug
in the desktop package.

Currently I think SLES uses the X11 pattern for icewm, which is why this
pattern is visible maybe we should split that out into a "Simple / basic"
desktop pattern and make that visible instead. But I think it would be best if
we keep doing the same thing between SLES / openSUSE as much as possible.
