I think I can do this, but this means I will have to include the new
group in all the other configs? Will I be allowed to make that change
in comps file?

This is not an issue for open-vm-tools. open-vm-tools X components are
already packaged separately as open-vm-tools-desktop. My plan was to
include open-vm-tools-desktop in a common desktop config like gnome and kde.
