[yocto] Adding Gnome to X11

Fri Mar 2 02:29:30 PST 2018

Actually the problem didn't come from doing IMAGE_INSTALL +=.

The problem came from the fact that in my recipe, I was adding the 
"IMAGE_INSTALL +=" line before the "inherit core-image" in which 
IMAGE_INSTALL is defined as a ?=. By doing that, the packages defined in 
the core-image class are not added because the variable IMAGE_INSTALL 
already exists.

Adding the "IMAGE_INSTALL +=" line after "inherit core-image" solved the 
problem.

I decided to use xfce as GUI because a recipe for the whole package 
exists (packagegroup-xfce-base).

Thanks for your help
