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.
Currently very basic gnome-shell launches on my laptop. Quite some
services won't start yet, most notable is gnome-control-center.
GTK3 apps still don't have theming applied and for example launching
chromium results in horrible red windows.
Gnome doesn't work at least since I started using NixOS half a year
ago, let's not give wrong impressions to newcomers. Packaging gnome3
is still something on horizon.
desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
and enabled desktop manager (e.g. "kde" if KDE is enabled, and
"xterm" if nothing is explicitly enabled). This means that you
don't have to write
services.xserver.desktopManager.default = "kde4";
anymore in addition to
services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.enable = true;
to make KDE the default desktop environment.
* Remove the "none + none" session type.
* Remove the "+ none" string at the end of session types. I.e. now
it's "kde", not "kde + none".
* In kdm, add coreutils to its SystemPath so that it can remove the
temporary directories in /tmp that it creates.

they're disabled by default due to other options.

those that run daemons) to modules/services. This probably broke
some things since there are a few relative paths in modules
(e.g. imports of system/ids.nix).
* Moved some PAM modules out of etc/pam.d to the directories of NixOS
modules that use them.
