meta: Revert recent dotfile removals
Although removing these dotfiles gave the repository a clean feeling, it
made it significantly harder to resume using a certain window manager or
other tool at any time.

Instead of removing dotfiles entirely, it's enough to simply not install
the programs you don't want to use, or even install them but not open
them.

# gtk-settings
[GTK][gtk] is the widget toolkit used by Firefox, Electron, and many (if not all) GNOME applications.
GTK's `settings.ini` only affects window managers and not the GNOME desktop environment. This is because GNOME manages user preferences with [`dconf` through `gsettings`][gnome].
## Use Cases
gtk-settings can be used to:
- Control the appearance of GTK applications under non-GNOME environments
You do not need to use gtk-settings if:
- You are using the GNOME desktop environment
