I'll leave that up to the nixos user with the cfg.deviceSection.

"xterm" if nothing is explicitly enabled). This means that you

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.

Setting to the synaptics default speeds the speeds I like. I think we were having
defaults still from the time the values meant some different speeds.
The 'synclient' program now does not work, but the 'xinput' program (xorg.xinput)
can modify in runtime the touchpad settings too.

it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon
as udev is running and devices become available (i.e. it doesn't
have to wait for all devices). This means that some jobs should
depend on "stopped udevtrigger" instead of "started udev".

driver (in services.xserver.videoDriver), the X server is now given
a set of drivers, and will use PCI ids to find the right one.
The only problem is that the choice of OpenGL driver (the
/var/run/opengl-driver symlink) depends on what driver is selected
at runtime (i.e. the NVIDIA implementation for "nvidia", and Mesa
for all other drivers). However this isn't a big problem right now
since "nvidia" isn't included in the default set of drivers anyway
for legal reasons.
* `services.xserver.resolutions' now defaults to [], meaning that the
X server should figure out the desired resolution(s) itself.
Likewise, `services.xserver.defaultDepth' defaults to 0 to let the X
server figure it out.
* Removed some options from xorg.conf that no longer appear needed
("Composite" and the DRI "Mode").

The latter is a security risk, because it allows remote root logins

default session is selected. This is because we always want to run
our own initialisation (like starting ssh-agent).
* ssh-agent: don't start it is a child but have it re-exec the
xsession script. This ensures that ssh-agent quits when we log out.
* In the xsession script, don't redirect output to ~/.xsession-errors
if the display manager is kdm, since kdm already does that. In fact
it uses ~/.xsession-errors<optional number> if there are concurrent
X sessions.
* For consistency with other distros and the xdm manpage, exec the
~/.xsession script instead of sourcing it. Do this for the "custom"
session type provided by kdm.
