This windowManager and desktopManager doesn't even have
an option to use it. git history suggests to me that there's no way anyone
finds this useful anymore.
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to
improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally
forget to configure a DM or WM.
However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM
or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs
needs to be done explicitly.
(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036)
In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a
mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine.
Commit 1f2b938 introduced a module for evilwm as a window-manager, but
did not actually add this module to window-manager's default.nix which
renders it useless.
Sawfish is a versatile, Lisp-based window manager
In that commit I include all Sawfish stack:
- librep, a lisp system;
- rep-gtk, bindings for gtk
- sawfish, the window manager
This commit updates the stumpwm to version 0.9.8. Futhermore, it
refactors the expression quite a lot:
* stumpwm has been moved from lisp modules to window-managers.
* stumpwm has been added to the window managers NixOS knows about, this
enables the user to add stumpwm as a default window manager in his
NixOS configuration like with Xmonad or i3.
* the package has been split into stumpwm and stumpwmContrib. This is
due to the fact that development of stumpwm and its extension modules
has been split into two repositories. As of today, the release is the
last one before this split. This split into two packages only reflect
those upcoming upstream changes already.
It is planned to make the addition of the extension modules voluntarily,
like with Xmonads option "enableContribAndExtras". Furthermore it might
be possible to add an option to compile stumpwm with clisp instead of
sbcl.
