This should be a reasonable start:

@x11
@basic-desktop
@desktop-debugging
@desktop-platform
@general-desktop
@internet-browser
@fonts
@internet-applications
@legacy-x
nedit
thunderbird
vim-X11
alacarte
seahorse-plugins
gedit-plugins

For KDE add:

@kde-desktop
xsettings-kde

Install groups (@...) with yum groupinstall.
