This would be an artificial module. It's better to rethink the dependency list
I sent instead:
xhost - standard ACL security setup tool for X in my opinion is required
dependency due to security reasons (like xauth). This is weak hardening tool
but is classic and better than none. We should not save disk space on
limiting security tools because it can do more hurt than good in the future.
Especially for servers with remote X clients.
xvinfo - OK. Do not have to be dependency.
# startkde from KDE returns error after quit when xprop is not present
xprop - I think this dependency should be moved to kdebase dependency list
because this module installs startkde script which complains about missing
xprop (xprop is launched two times by startkde script). I do not know if any
other app/script uses xprop.

xterm - launched by default install of x.org by xinitrc script. We could
provide modified xinitrc script to not scary lunar newbies with errors about
missing xterm. For me it is not necessary.
have a nice day,
