<link xlink:href="https://www.xfce.org/">Xfce4</link> relies on
GIO/GVfs for userspace virtual filesystem access in applications
like <link xlink:href="https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/">thunar</link> and
<link xlink:href="https://docs.xfce.org/apps/gigolo/">gigolo</link>.
For that to work, the gvfs nixos service is enabled by default,
and it can be configured with the specific package that provides
GVfs. Until now Xfce4 was setting it to use a lighter version of
GVfs (without support for samba). To avoid conflicts with other
desktop environments this setting has been dropped. Users that
still want it should add the following to their system
configuration:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.gvfs.package" /> = pkgs.gvfs.override { samba = null; };
</programlisting>
