My only (small) gripe is that libreoffice-gnome maybe should be called
libreoffice-gtk.

As a user of xfce I was slightly puzzled but the naming saying gnome as
it sort of implies that it is specific to gnome, however the description
clarifies that it applies to any gtk dependent DE. Maybe the naming
should be general and the description should state gnome,xfce and
anything else gtk dependent that is officially supported by arch.
