Add ability to do a more traditional bspwm startup (using the bspwm-session
script provided by nixpkgs.bspwm) as an alternative to directly starting
sxhkd & bspwm
Also added the ability to specify a custom startup script, instead of
relying on the provided bspwm-session
add '-f 100' as an argument to sxhkd to keep it from flooding bspwm
add SXHKD_SHELL=/bin/sh to help default to a faster shell than what may
be set in $SHELL (example: with zsh)
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.

Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
Before the error if the wrong default desktop was chosen would be:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager ($(defaultDM)) not found.
which has the string interpolation done incorreclty. Now that is fixed
and it is more user-friendly as:
/nixpkgs-channels/lib/modules.nix:282:11:
Default desktop manager (gnome) not found.
Probably you want to change
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome";
to one of
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "gnome3";
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "none";
- added numlock on boot switch
- simply add :
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.autoNumlock = true;
to configuration.nix and sddm will start
with numlock enabled.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions

The three KDE package sets now have circular dependencies between them,
so they can only be built if they are merged into a single package set
during evaluation.
- if xserver.tty and/or display are set to null, then don't specify
them, or the -logfile argument in the xserverArgs
- For lightdm, we set default tty and display to null and we determine
those at runtime based on arguments passed. This is necessary because
we run multiple X servers so they can't all be on the same display
These options allow setting the start and stop scripts for the display
manager. Making these configurable is necessary to allow some hardware
configurations. Upstream ships empty scripts by default, anyway.
Now the default way to define NixOS window manager modules is to use
mkEnableOption to describe the module itself.
In this commit, all files on nixos/modules/services/x11/window-managers
are changed.
Add the possibility to specify plugin set to
be used as overridable `thunar` derivation argument.
New nixos config attribute:
`services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins`
that allows user to specify plugins in the context
of nixos.
Tests:
- With and without plugins.
- Using the nixos attributes.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is usually enabled by default under X, and is a
keyboard shortcut that forcefully kills the current X server. This can
lead to data loss by users if accidentally pressed. This commit
introduces a new option, services.xserver.enableCtrlAltBackspace, that
is *disabled* by default. If set to true, the previous behavior can be
restored.
A similar decision was made by the Ubuntu team, and is documented here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
