Additionally, the @code{gnome-desktop-service-type},
@code{xfce-desktop-service}, @code{mate-desktop-service-type} and
@code{enlightenment-desktop-service-type} procedures can add GNOME, Xfce, MATE
and/or Enlightenment to a system. To ``add GNOME'' means that system-level
services like the backlight adjustment helpers and the power management
utilities are added to the system, extending @code{polkit} and @code{dbus}
appropriately, allowing GNOME to operate with elevated privileges on a
limited number of special-purpose system interfaces. Additionally,
adding a service made by @code{gnome-desktop-service-type} adds the GNOME
metapackage to the system profile. Likewise, adding the Xfce service
not only adds the @code{xfce} metapackage to the system profile, but it
also gives the Thunar file manager the ability to open a ``root-mode''
file management window, if the user authenticates using the
administrator's password via the standard polkit graphical interface.
To ``add MATE'' means that @code{polkit} and @code{dbus} are extended
appropriately, allowing MATE to operate with elevated privileges on a
limited number of special-purpose system interfaces. Additionally,
adding a service of type @code{mate-desktop-service-type} adds the MATE
metapackage to the system profile. ``Adding Enlightenment'' means that
@code{dbus} is extended appropriately, and several of Enlightenment's binaries
are set as setuid, allowing Enlightenment's screen locker and other
functionality to work as expected.
