PR #1366
The previous windowManager.xmonad option only starts xmonad and
doesn't make ghc available. This assumes that the user has GHC with
access to the xmonad package in his PATH when using xmonad.
Xmonad in Nix is now patched to accept the XMONAD_{GHC,XMESSAGE}
environment variables which define the path to either ghc or xmessage.
These are set automatically when using xmonad through
windowManager.xmonad.
My (or specific: @aristidb and my) changes make it possible to use
Xmonad without adding GHC to any profile. This is useful if you want
to add a different GHC to your profile.
This commit introduces some options:
- xmonad.haskellPackages: Controls which Haskell package set & GHC set
is used to (re)build Xmonad
- xmonad.extraPackages: Function returning a list of additional
packages to make available to GHC when rebuilding Xmonad
- xmonad.enableContribExtras: Boolean option to build xmonadContrib
and xmonadExtras.

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.
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.
Previously logging in via SLiM more than once didn't work because SLiM
doesn't clean up its PAM session properly (that is, in a child rather
than in the parent). Thus the slim process becomes part of the user
session's cgroup, among other things. This patch causes SLiM to exit
after the session has finished, after which systemd will restart
display-manager.service.
FixesNixOS/nixops#137.
