It's already being split in experimental actually. We now have:
x11-apps, x11-utils, x11-xserver-utils, x11-session-utils,
x11-xfs-utils, x11-xkb-utils, xauth, xinit
(only the first 3 of them contain some programs that could go in the menu)

I am ok with dropping xsetroot from the menu. And all the above looks
fine, except xclipboard but I don't have anything better for it.

Thanks for feedback,
