Adding open-vm-tools-desktop package to desktop group

Hi, 

Currently, I'm maintaining open-vm-tools in Fedora. 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/open-vm-tools 

open-vm-tools provides significant functionality for VM management 
and helps in anything that requires co-ordination with the guest. 

open-vm-tools package provides a sub-package open-vm-tools-desktop. 
open-vm-tools-desktop is a very small package and provides integration 
of VM's desktop UI with host UI or remote client UI. It is essential for 
improved user experience of the VM UI, e.g. things like copy/paste, 
proper VM UI screen resolution. This package spawns a process on 
each user login (the process is stopped during logout). The process exits 
gracefully if the desktop is not running on a VMware VM. 

I would like to include open-vm-tools-desktop package as part of most 
of the desktop package groups in Fedora by default. Could you please 
help me with the process to make the necessary changes? 

FYI, I'm working with Fedora group to include open-vm-tools as part 
of @standard group. 

Thanks, 
Ravindra
