Logind sessions are more generally useful than for device ownership.
For instances, ssh logins can be put in their own session (and thus
their own cgroup).
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.

users don't have to write
services.xserver.displayManager.kdm.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.slim.enable = false;
to enable kdm, but just
services.xserver.displayManager.kdm.enable = true;

this feature, but it's nice not to depend on KDE for non-KDE tests.)

work yet though. Probably Grub needs some messing with the

call ck-launch-session from the xsession script.

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.
