The main change here is a patch of SLiM to tread a log file of
/dev/stderr specially in that it now uses std::cerr instead of a file
for logging.
This allows us to set the logfile to stderr in NixOS for the generated
SLiM configuration file and we now get logging to the systemd journal.

This provides a default console_cmd for the slim display-manager.
When the user enters "console" as the user name, slim will run this
command.
Having a default is rather important; the virtual terminals don't work
with some display drivers, so having a broken X session can leave you
locked out of your machine.
- As noted on github, GDM needs different parameters for X.
- Making xserverArgs a true list instead of concat-string helps to
filter it and it feels more correct anyway.
- Tested: gdm+gnome, lightdm+gnome. There seems to be no logout option
in gnome, and gdm doesn't offer other sessions, but maybe these are normal.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
This reverts commit f7d5e83abb. It
breaks the Firefox and Xfce tests:
in job ‘tests.firefox.x86_64-linux’:
cannot coerce a boolean to a string
in job ‘tests.xfce.x86_64-linux’:
infinite recursion encountered
That is, you can say
security.pam.services.sshd = { options... };
instead of
security.pam.services = [ { name = "sshd"; options... } ];
making it easier to override PAM settings from other modules.
