# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the # program responsible for handling X logins (such as xdm, kdm, gdb, or # SLiM). The display manager allows the user to select a *session # type*. When the user logs in, the display manager starts the # *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session # type. The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager* # (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window # manager* (e.g. kwin or twm). { config, pkgs, ... }: with pkgs.lib; let cfg = config.services.xserver; xorg = pkgs.xorg; # file provided by services.xserver.displayManager.session.script xsession = wm: dm: pkgs.writeScript "xsession" '' #! /bin/sh # Handle being called by kdm. if test "''${1:0:1}" = /; then eval exec "$1"; fi # The first argument of this script is the session type. sessionType="$1" if test "$sessionType" = default; then sessionType=""; fi ${optionalString (!cfg.displayManager.job.logsXsession) '' exec > ~/.xsession-errors 2>&1 ''} ${optionalString cfg.startSSHAgent '' if test -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK"; then # Restart this script as a child of the SSH agent.
