Optionally, <emphasis>picom</emphasis> can be enabled for nice

Some Xfce programs are not installed automatically. To install them
|
|
manually (system wide), put them into your
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" /> from
|
|
<literal>pkgs.xfce</literal>.

<para>

|
Thunar (the Xfce file manager) is automatically enabled when Xfce
|
|
is enabled. To enable Thunar without enabling Xfce, use the
|
|
configuration option <xref linkend="opt-programs.thunar.enable" />
|
|
instead of simply adding <literal>pkgs.xfce.thunar</literal> to
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" />.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you'd like to add extra plugins to Thunar, add them to
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-programs.thunar.plugins" />. You shouldn't just
|
|
add them to <xref linkend="opt-environment.systemPackages" />.

Even after enabling udisks2, volume management might not work.
|
|
Thunar and/or the desktop takes time to show up. Thunar will spit
|
|
out this kind of message on start (look at
|
|
<literal>journalctl --user -b</literal>).

This is caused by some needed GNOME services not running. This is
|
|
all fixed by enabling "Launch GNOME services on startup"
|
|
in the Advanced tab of the Session and Startup settings panel.
|
|
Alternatively, you can run this command to do the same thing.
