What about "x11"? Doesn't work with --no-recommends though.
# zypper info -t pattern --requires x11 Requires : patterns-openSUSE-x11 = 20170206-2.1
apollon:~ # rpm -q --recommends patterns-openSUSE-x11 (...) xorg-x11-server xterm
Yes, indeed. I had to bite the bullet.

I had the same problem recently. I think --no-recommends just doesn't work for this case. But "zypper in -t pattern --no-recommends xfce" should be quite lightweight.
Unfortunately after installing Xorg XFCE session fails with "cannot connect to /run/user/0". It suggests installing xfce4-session, but it is already there. All Recommends of xfce4-session are installed too (at least non-trivial ones). All in all, it appears that adding DE post initial install is not trivial task.
Its trivial if you don't use "--no-recommends", however in the case of xfce I think you could do the following and not end up with any packages that you don't need. "zypper install patterns-openSUSE-x11; zypper install --no-recommends patterns-openSUSE-xfce lightdm" but note that won't install most of the xfce4-panel-plugin-* packages that are only ever suggested. Your luck will vary between desktops for example enlightenment is less modular and just installing the enlightenment package will give you a working system. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
